I'm at the point of installing electronics and find my CG is off. I have the DX6 so what I'm considering is putting the RX up front (I have the 450XL HDE) on the end of the servo tray and putting the ESC in the back. With the battery in the tray the CG is close but still slightly forward (I'll need to get a level to verify just how far it's off). What's the best way to adjust the CG? I'm thinking I can move the tail servo out on the boom a bit but that would require modifying the pushrod to the tail. Thoughts?
I can post pictures tomorrow. 2:45am here..
ty in advance.

I'm still short a few parts. I'll cleanup the wiring ..etc once I finalize placement of all the components AND I plan on spinning the motor 180 degrees to get the heatsink away from the battery and get wires closer to the ESC.

I's put the esc under the battery tray or above on the servo tray and the rx where you have the esc now.......this will keep all the electric's upr front away from the RX ....
