Yesterday, I again nudged the DC-3's battery a little rearwards, with the front of the battery now a distant 70mm from the front of the tray, equating to a CoG of 70mm from the leading edge, and found the DC-3 still flew happily.
The take-off was really good, you never really know how well it's going to turn out, and I enjoyed buzzing it around the field, enjoying the clouds starting to catch the light of the rising sun, first those in the east followed by those in the west.
The Dak flies very easily now, although I will do some more experimentation with turns, where it can tend to go into a stall-type turn, perhaps just needing extra rudder to boot it around at lower speeds. Also, I'll also do some sore stalls and spins to see whether the the light nose leads to any instability at low speed...
