Jim is right about being nose heavy with a larger engine. Keep it light and it will fly and land like a dream. I had to install the battery under the stab and run a wire to the front in order to balance it - but no additional weight was needed with an O.S. .61 FSR
I duct taped my battery pack to one end of a piece of light ply the width of the pack, and maybe 7"- 8" long. Then I slid the pack down into the fuselage, and anchored the "stick" at the front with a screw, at about the trailing edge of cabin.
