Hi Guys,

I've got a 37% that we plan to maiden on Tuesday. Just in the final steps of preparation.

I have the plane ready to balance, but the instruction manual is not real clear. To make sure I have a safe first flight, can you help?

Do I balance the plane with our without the wings. If I use the wings, I assume I just balance with the lower ones? Do I also install the cabanes on the lower wing?

Any help you can provide or post would be great! I've checked the various forums and everyone seems to do it differently.

Thanks a million!

Rich
