Default TF Spitfire

I am trying to make an engine decision on this kit and would like to know if any weight was needed to balance the prototype properly and where. I didn't find this info mentioned in the manual. I would like to incorporate that info into my decision. I have a Saito 82, Saito 91 and a .61 OS on hand. From what I have read and heard, it builds a little tail heavy so I was wondering how the prototype came out since the OS .61 two stroke was used. I believe there have been some changes to the kit to lighten the tail since the prototype was built but I am still curious how it originally came out. Otherwise, the manual and kit look great and I am ready to get it start over the holidays.

Thanks in advance for the help. Keep the kits coming!

We don't have numbers on what weight was needed where to balance the prototype. The kit came out nearly 5 years ago, and the prototype's no longer around. However, as long as the total weight of the model's at or below the recommended limits, you won't have any problems no matter how much or where you have to add weight.
