After writing down the model spec`s, then draw up the model fuselage full size. This allows the placement of the hardware to fit into the design... making sure [width] access is there for removal/model balancing. The shape of the fuse is your choice that is aesthetically pleasing.....It`s there to locate the wing and tail group position, motor mount ,under carriage, struts ,etc. Initial balance, while not being totally accurate is to take a board the length of the fuse and mark the location of the bulkheads ie; motor mount,fire wall, at the wing leading edge and at the wing trailing edge.and any other desired along the way. Mark the CoG behind the fire wall at about 30% of the wing chord. Place all components including tail group at the desired positions. Check balance under the COG....Adjustments can be carried out on completion as required Dawn and I are both well, Thank you asking.
