soooooo, two days ago I finished up my nutball, and I did the idiotic thing of flying it before I checked COG. It flew about 4 feet and then flipped over backwards, smashing the firewall, gouging the prop and bending the control rods. anyway, is turns out the COG was about 7.5 inches back, not the 5 inches back that it should be. I thought it was a bit odd, because I put all the electronics in the exact same place as flite test does. so when I was rebuilding it later that day, I just put all the electronics a little further forward. still tail heavy. more forward. still behind the 5 inch mark.
I kept doing that until all the electronics were as forward as they could be, and it was still about 3/4 of an inch behind where it should be. what am I doing wrong?
as you can see, I cant move anything more forward.
