Default Flew new Escapade

Flew the new escapade today and I have a good OS 46 AX on it. It came in a little tail heavy so I put one of the great planes 2 oz spinner nuts on it and it balanced pretty well (hate having to add weight to any plane). When I fired it off and got airborne I noticed the engine didn't have the "scream" it usually does. I've flown for years but have never used a weighted spinner nut. Do they slow the RPM much? Didn't have the time to tach it....10x5 x6 Bolly prop and 10% Omega
