Build up the flat profile glider,keep adding weight to the nose until you get a nice flat glide,tie some cotton onto a pin and keep placing it into the balsa fuselage until you see the exact spot,works every time.
Also remember that the front plane is the elevator so make sure you get the movements the right way round.
