Balancing a foam glider

October 2026

Center of gravity at about 30% of the mean chord is a safe starting point. Move it back a few millimetres at a time.

Hover efficiency matters more than top speed here. Large props at low kV give the best grams per watt.

Charging LiPo packs safely

August 2026

Balance charge at 1C, never leave packs unattended, and store them at around 3.8 V per cell.
