Right now I have my 160 up front I like it there keeps the Heli looking clean. But I have an issue no the model is nose heavy with the main packs as far back as they go. Set up is 160hv and mini v. Any ideas on how to move the CG.

I know Nick has his up front so I'm wondering how his is set up

i think nick uses a 120hv.

nope he runs 160s

jongam0 · 04-09-2014, 06:17 PM

yea, your right. i went through my txt with him and he said he modified the tray to fit it further back. thats because i was gonna use a 160hv. i have a edge 120hv with a bec and battery back-up all upfront and mine balances out perfectly.

Wonder if that's all it takes is getting it as far back as possible

I've seen Nick added a bit of weight to the tail (can't remember whether it was his e720 or e700) and Marco from Australia posted the pics of his e700 with weight added to the tail on the other forum:

Tidied mine up since this picture, Ultra Guard and the Gryphon Quasor are up front now and much better on the eyes, The best bit is the C o G is perfect and it fly's superb.

Trying to avoid sticking it on the side crashed it to going to try adding weight to the boom figure be the best to change the CG with the least amount of weight

trickybit · 04-14-2014, 03:59 PM

I put mine on the side, not mainly to get CoG, but to allow me to change packs with the canopy mounted.

Of course, I did crash hard on the side and break one ESC. Later, I crashed hard on the nose and did not break the (new) ESC (in the same position on the side).

I can remember exactly but I think it was only 30 grams I added to the boom to correct CG. Of course it will depend on what gear you run.
But having the weight as far back as possible is best, less is needed for a greater effect.
