Take your index fingers and put one on each wing at the point the wing contacts the fuselage.

Put your fingers about 1/3 of the way back from the front of the wing.

This is where the plane should balance, showing no preference for the front or the back. The nose may drop, or the tail may drop, but each time you try, the plane should not favor one or the other.

If it always drops the nose, it is too nose heavy ( too much nose weight ).

The Hawk Sky will practically land at a walking pace when pointed into a headwind.
