My sig complete minus fuel weighs almost exactly 6 1/2 lbs. However to balance I will need to add 6 oz. (roughly) to the nose. Would it be worth it to buy new engine mounts and slide the engine foward? I have it mounted as per plans. I just think 6 oz. seems like alot. Plus I was happy the plane came in at such a light weight. Be a shame to heavy it up just to balance.
Personally, I don't think it's worth it to move the engine. Won't make enough difference anyway but, I doubt you would even notice the difference in the way it would fly with the 6 oz. added.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure they grounded the space shuttle so all the rest of the science that's been kicked around doesn't add up to much of anything in this particular case.
