If you have to add nose weight, you're not using a big enough engine!

Irepresent that remark! Iusually have to add tail weight.

I'd prefer not to add 8 oz to a .60 size model, but you do what you gotta do. Get the engine and battery as far forward as possible. Shiftingthe receiver doesn't help as much as it used to.

A Harry Higley nose hub will putweight as far forward as possble so you need less.
