As most of you know I am building a compy 260 3m after christmas. I have heard of a lot of problems with the cg being to aft. I was going to mount 2 5955's in the tail for rudder for better resolution but now I am second geussing. I also was wondering how much of a difference it would make to put a carbon tube in the tail. Whats the weight of the stock tube and what size of the tbm carbon tubes fit??? I have a da 150 with a 28.5x12 with a standard truturn spinner. I am also running greeves. I will mount everything forward but is there anything extra I can do??? What is the optimum cg for imac. Thanks a ton guys.
