I do believe you are correct. I had to add 50g of lead to the tail. However, it was still lighter than using the double walled pipe.
I like the HAB pipe + their G10 mounts, because the installation...

The little Avanti is a bit more fragile than full glass or even foam airplanes. I like to keep it light and watch the speed.

The X60 is the same length as the X45 but a little bigger in diameter. It would be too much for the small Avanti.

If you can, the X45 is a better choice. It will be lighter, especially if you use a HAB single wall pipe.

I had to do the same w/ my X45 install. The airplane tends to come out nose heavy.

Also, expect a bit of up trim at the elevators for normal flight.

The tank will be partly in front of the CG no matter what tank you use. The CG shift does not affect the airplane (in my experience). I'm using a 34 ounce tank from Northwest RC (plastic bottle type)...

Bob - That is true. Rumor has it that a fellow had his wings rip off because the wooden structure was not glued properly.

Hi,

Those that use the HAB single wall pipe - did you add any heat protection at the tail of the aircraft? Did you cover the servo wires with silver tape?
Thanks!
