No he was talking with the 150 installed, spinner and prop.
That was the first question that I asked him.
found out that it is a Sopwith Camel still dont know whos kit or if it was built from plans.
He made mention that the plane is supposed to weigh in around 8 to 10lbs with a 60 to 90 2 stroke.
I was a bit concerned about the 1 3/4 lbs he was going to add to the nose of the fuse the plane will weigh almost 15lbs when he is done.
He seems to think that there wont be any issues.
Then I had to ask why were you calling if you didn't think that there would be a issue[:@]
Again thanks for the replys

I recently read an article about a .60 Sopwith RTF where the instructions CALLED for 1.5 lbs of lead on the nose. The ARF comes with a wooden box that is to be mounted just behind the upper part of the engine box.
Given that he's using a light engine to begin with, the amount of weight he is talking about may be spot on.
Make sure he's measuring for the C.G. correctly. Top Wing center?

Scroll down where it talks about the weight box for the nose...
