Balance questions??? Are you guys running equal COG, or some weight forward bias?
Reason I ask is it's looking like I am gonna have a balance problem with my chosen components? Can't say for positive as the heli is not quite finished but I have kinda strapped components in their general location, checked balance and it's not coming out well.
The major balance components are a 2250mah 3S batt, 45amp Scorpion ESC w/SportBEC strapped on top, and the tail servo is the new small & light Hitec digital that packages with the new Hitec gyro.
Any thoughts, or suggestions?

Equal. I pick up the MT by the main grips with with the grips positioned perpendicular to the tail boom. The skids should come off the table all the way around at the same time. That is when I am happy with the balance.

I have mine balanced for a vertical main shaft. ie C of G exactly on main shaft. Hold it by the flybar, and check all round. All my helis are balanced thus, and all fly perfectly.
