Understand CG, Then Tune for Your Style
How nose-heavy, neutral, and tail-heavy setup choices change behavior in precision and 3D flight.
For many aerobatic aircraft, the neutral CG “sweet spot” produces the cleanest tracking. Moving forward improves stability; moving aft increases 3D authority but can reduce precision and safety margins. This page keeps the concepts practical for field use.
- Forward CG: more stable, faster, less 3D agility
- Neutral CG: cleaner precision and reduced pitch coupling
- Aft CG: stronger 3D response, more sensitivity
- Adjust in small increments and test systematically
