I was indeed nose heavy. Preparing for a contest this weekend, I flew the eCobra last week and this week.
I kept adjusting the cg till it was tail heavy and had to land it in the weeds cause it was so unstable. Now I have the CG just right.
Inverted it will drop just a little requing a tad of down to hold level now. I'd say I was probably 1/8-1/4" too far forward with the CG.
The current CG I test flew was at 72mm or 2 13/16"
I"m wondering if the instructions should mention the CG is different for eCobra vs. eFalcon? Or is this valid for the eFalcon as well?
I had followed the kit instructions but should have spent more time with it.
Now that I've done so, it flies MUCH more agile. It has the Turnigy 1100Kv motor in it now. I have my eRapier which I think flies better so I'll use the eCobra as a backup. Maybe my scale is off but I'm getting 3.15lb as a total weight including batteries. I know I have a heavy 50/60A HobbyKing SS ESC, but it does not make that much of a difference.
