Default TT TOC extra 260 35% cg question

Ok i have the cg at 7.50 and it falls to the noise, i had it tail heavy and alot so much the front wheels would be about 3' off the ground before the tail would come off the ground at 7.50 with the ing pack at the back side of the rubber servo tray it flew very well like this but in invert flat spins the ele would be lower then the wings. also in inverted flight i had to pull on the elev to keep it flat. i did the test when inverted at a slite upline chop the throttle the noise would come up so its tail heavy ok but it flew good my question is where do the rest of the you have the cg set at, i now have the Ing pack on the fire wall to make it nosie heavy, i am thinking of putting the pack near the wing tube or should i just fly it this way and see what happens I like to know where you might have your CG set at

what motor/muffler combo do you have? I set one up for my son and have the cg right for IMAC , but you can still 3D the crap out of it.I do not set up nose heavy for IMAC either,I want a neutral cg.

Da 100 with stock mufflers and a tru turn spin with a carbon prop 27x10 th

i would like to be neutral on the cg also. this is where the battery was in the back on the shelf in the pic now its on the motor box near the fire wall i am thinking of putting near the wing tube that should make it less noise heavy and close to a neutral setup

are you using 7.50 as the CG i had to take the 2400 nicad off that shelf and put it up front now to get it noise heavy, if i use that shelf its tail heavy at 7.50 on the cg just like to know what number you are using 7.50 put me on the wing tube next to the fus, it hard to cg it on your fingers heheh. and i have to stock gear and stock wing tube for the time.
