I have checked all the measurements of the above plane, Whether I have to reduce the size of them to lighten the tail or I have to reduce the fuselage length to lighten the tail to have smooth flying...

And What did you mean as the plane is underpowered?

Simply try to balance the plane around the 25% mark from the Leading edge. This can be done by doing any of the three things
1) Seems like a simple build. So to adjust the tail heaviness, try to move the wing assembly a bit towards the tail.
2) If the above is not possible, try to either add weight to the nose, or
3) lighten the tail.

Pankaj has said it all.

Always try to have the plane slightly nose heavy. That is when you balance the plane on its main spar the plane should lean its nose forward and the fuselage should stay about 20 to 30 degree inclination. If you have more powerful motor on the nose then the inclination could be increased further (more nose heavy).


BTW, on the original video on this thread I felt that the motor or the prop is not enough for this plane. Thatz why i said its underpowered.

I forgot one part, you can also try and move the battery forward to add weight to the nose

Do post your work if you start your scratch build plane.


If any other details you require, you can PM me anytime.


Enjoy.

All Those Who are staying in Bangalore go to jakkur airfield on sunday morning

Thats a nice build.. pls put up some more vids of it flying after the power and cg issues are sorted out.. I'm hoping to build something similar.. will try making a thermocol wing using a hot wire cutter.. Pls try n bring ur glider if ur comin to Goa, would love to see it live
