I seem to have misplaced the instruction booklet that came with my Brodak electric Clown, and need to know the balance point.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Best regards,

Looking at the Brodak sight  it looks like the Clown has a straight wing.  So reason says that you set the CG someways between the high point of the wing and the leading edge.  A CG near the leading edge will give a safe first flight.  From there you can move it back till you are happy with how it turns.  All of my aircraft balance just forward of the high point of the wing.  Seem to work.  You could call Brodak.  They have really good customer support.

     Thanks for the information.  I compared the moment of the Clown to that of my Flight Streak and found them to be similar.  I applied the 1 5/8 inch balance point of the Flite Streak to the Clown.  Had to add almost three ounces to get it to reasonably balance at that point.  I have been having issues with the plane overcontrolling, especially when doing consecutive loops, with the loops getting very tight.  The plane also stalls very easily when performing loops that are lower that 45 degrees, hence the concern that my problem might be a tail heavy issue.

Best regards,
