Default How do you balance your model?

Hello
I nearly finished my sig 4star ARF plane now.
It looks gorgeous, but I still have the problem of center of gravity.

I put it on the great plane CG machine at 74mm as suggested in the manual... and the nose is heavy!!!

What to do? I tried moving the battery to the max, still, I need to add some small weight to the tail? In fact I need to add a zinger 11x6 propeller equivalent of weight bcs this is what I placed on the stabilizer to make it perfect funny, but I don't have any pre determined weight :P

How do you usually do it? What weight can I add to my plane if I can't buy those great planes stick-on leads? Any idea?


Please help, I can't wat to maiden it This is my first plane I ever build. I just love the idea to see it track perfectly !!
