While it's clear that the longitudinal balance is important on an RC, how important is lateral balance? I noticed after another apaling hover on my DF4 that the static side-to-side balance really favours one side over the other. The (lipo mod) battery only really moves forward and backward so that doesn't help for lateral, so I'm not even sure how I could adjust other than adding weight to the light side - but is it particularily important anyway?

On a side note, I can hover out a lipo on the DF now, and can manage side in for a short time (not brave enough for nose in yet). Thinking of buy a Blade400, and wondering whether the extra size will make hovering much easier? Any advice?
