John found this I am careful with it, the model is nose down upside down but the right way up it wont stay on the machine   Well I'm totally with you on this Tom.  In most cases, it's just about impossible to balance a low-wing model right way up, as the mass of the cockpit and fuselage makes the centre of gravity (which in reality is in 3 dimensions of course) higher than the point of balancing and thus it is unstable.  I can't quite envisage how a CG can be substantially different when the model is balanced right way up as opposed to balancing it upside down

hi Ben yep from exactly the same point its set on the machine its just that i was gonna go out with the plane but i would sooner have it right,but its definitly nose down more when its the right way up much more  

ben thanx for the reply but when the plane is upside down the nose is slightly down however when its the right way up it falls off the machine

Hi Guys Thanks for the info, Timbo I put a thread on the heli section reegading my twister, don't matter what I do to it, it keeps on taking off to the right, I have adjusted the trims I have adjusted the linkage, but it still shoots off to the right, even with full left trim, I put it over to the left of the room can't even get it to hover much 'because it shoots off to the right and invariably hits something before I have to shut it down.

how do you balance a spinner

hi simon yes you guess right one thing i have noticed though if it flies forward, and i put the tiniest amount of back trim in, it then flies off to far back if you know what i mean,i just don't know what to do with it i have adjusted the linkage quite a lot
