Okay guys. Fun's over on this one. I'm shutting this one down now. Tony has some good instructional stuff up on YT and at Rc-Help.com. If you want to post it here as appropriate for a question or whatever, go ahead, but keep it nice and civil.

No big deal, Paul! It happens!
I had used Lee's method for locating the cg many times. I found a different way to do it, a few months ago, and i think it works just as well but it might be a bit simpler....especially for the "lesser experienced" flyers. I'll post that method soon.

I tried this method a few times. Never had luck with it. Usually end up pinching my fingers and the swash movement causes rotation regardless of cg. Probably doing it wrong.

I still use the flybar way of doing it. On a 450 its hard for me to grab the head block. I have been successful with this method in the past.
