Gws P-51 CG
I've read alot about people having difficulty trying to get the CG on this plane closer to the nose. Did anyone try moving the motor/gearbox assembly slightly farther forward? I unscrewed the assembly from the wooden shaft it mounts on and slid it forward about 1cm. I'm haven't flown it yet, but I was able to remove the lead weight I had in the nose and still have the CG about 1/2" in front of the spar. The only problem (near as I can see) is the prop mount is not sitting flush with the fuselage, but I'll make that sacrifice to save some weight.
