| Hello, I havn't asked a question in a while, but I'm always checking in to see what's being discussed. Anyway, I've been slowly putting together my Corona with seperates and because of the expense, it's taking a while, but I don't have far to go. Recently, I was reading ahead in the construction manual and noticed that the battery pack is normally installed on the right-front half of the crutch, which I would guess helps the balance of the heli considering the other parts are located on the left-side. As a result, I can see me running into a balance problem because I purchased and installed the VE/LMH struts that have the battery holder on the bottom for easier access to the battery pack (on a good note, the struts really add realism to the heli). So, not only do I not have the weight of the battery pack on the right side, but the center of the struts, where the pack will be, is also slightly to the left side, adding to the problem. Should I make every attempt to add weight to the right side by mounting reciever, gyro on that side? That still doesn't seem like it will be enough weight to make it even. I'm even considering adding the Ram lighting that has to use a 9v battery for power, and installing that on the right side too. I have the Hacker Brushless motor, so I don't think addition of more weight will hurt dramitically--hope not. Maybe the trimming will help-don't know. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, thanks , Steve. |
