Sky raider I with an OS 46 LA is a little tail heavy and already under powered...Instead of adding weight up front how much impact would removing the two long screws that hold the tail on and glueing the tail have? I know it's not much weight but it is way out on the tail.... ( plus I have the tail apart as I just rammed the doorway with the tail bringing it into the house@&$!*#. Minor repair )


I'm also moving the battery out from under the fuel tank and putting it under the engine. ( haven't figured out how to hold it there yet) By doing this I am able to remove 2.5oz of lead from the nose.

I'll also test 11x5 , 11x6 , 11x7 props this Saturday to see the effects..

How much impact is 2.5 oz going to make? (I,ll find out Saturday )

I had an OS 50sx in this bird but moved it to another plane.

Big difference between that and the LA.46
