GrayBeard,

Actually, its only marginally tail heavy without fuel i.e. when held upside down at the CG, the tail sits slightly lower than the nose but it doesnt actively drop. I used the rubberised rounded end of a chicken and booster with rubber cap fitted to hold it up. I have already added so much weight to the nose (see the first post), I am concerned regarding wing loading. This airplane isin't like the CG Tiger 40-that one has a cord of 12.4" and a span of 61". This has a cord of 10.5" and a span of 59" so its started off with higher loading and now we have repairs, heavier LiFe battery and more counter weight in it already. What do you think?
