Title: Adjusting the center of gravity on the Habu STS
Post by: byronvoyle on December 24, 2024, 10:24:25 PM
Hello, I am adjusting the center of gravity (CG) for the Habu STS aircraft by E-flite. Currently, I am using a 3S 4000mAh battery and have pushed the battery all the way forward, but it seems that the center of gravity is still not at the recommended level. I estimate that I need to add about 25 grams at the front.

Based on everyone's experience, is my alignment correct? Thanks.

I used to own the Habu STS but I was using 4S 4000mah and 3S 5000mah.  Mine was spot on with the CG.  I wasnt using the IC3 lipo and so its on the heavier side (I think my lipo was more furtherback).  I do find if you turn on SAFE it will feel its tail heavy (like to climb).
