Oh, I cannot take all the credit. Somebody posted this eons ago. But that's using 9550 servos for steering and throttle.

If you are using 2 standard servo size (ex, S9451) and receiver (ex, Futaba R131iP), you will need about 120gr on the left.
Yup, that's what I found. I needed to put a LOT of weight to balance it up (if I recall more than 80 grams) with normal 9451 steering and 2144 throttle servos. But then again, I don't put any now and I have not felt anything. Perhaps the RING makes up for everything.

Using the new hudy tweak board from HSP-108255 will gives more accurate reading but then of course if you could afford 4x digital scales that would be nicer
