Hey everyone, I have a micro RC 2 channel foam plane that came RTF (KFPlan KF606 - Wanted something small to mess around with in my backyard). From what I can tell the CG is off and it is very tail heavy. On full power it climes steeply until it stalls and then drops. If I try to use half power, then it will not climb. I tried to add some weight to the nose but then it didn't have enough power to climb at all, it just does a slower decent.
The wing is a convex/concave design so it gets a lot of lift. Trying to see where it currently balances, it is halfway back maybe a little more of the wing. There really isn't any way to move the battery any farther forward as the wire to connect isn't long enough.
Where should the point be that I am using to determine the correct CG for this? Also is it possible that the motors may be reversed? The right motor turns counterclockwise, the left turns clockwise.
