Default RE: Slow vs Fast flying Planes

The plane is a little nose heavy. It balances about 1/4" forward of the manuals suggestion. I thought I would try it like that first. I had to add 160 grains in the tail to get it there. So I will add a little more and take some small weight to add at the field. Thanks for those suggestions combatpigg.
cfircav8r- it has more drag with the free wheeling? I would think with the prop stopped it would cause more drag. But the prop seemed to be slowly spinning but when it is on the ground I must give it about 10-15% throttle to start the prop. So I did expect the prop to be stopped. There isn't any brake in the speed controller.
