Default Diamond dust cg check

I'm building a Dust and plan to use a sport Jett 46 on it. I'm using the red Jett muffler. I'm at the point of laying out where to put the throttle servo so I laid the engine in and servos in to get some idea of how it was going to balance. Its looking very nose heavy already. Is this typical? If I cut a hatch on the top sheeting I can push the receiver pack (3.5 ounce pack) behind the rear spar and it should get me closer. Just wondering if this is needed or do people fly them nose heavy with the heavier engines on them?
