Thanks Bill,

The default build for the plane per instructions is done either around the G26 or the US engines 25cc engine, i can't remember which. Both nearly identical magneto based engines that weigh close to 60oz, or just shy of 4lbs. With this engine, I believe most have had to add nose weight to get the plane to balance, and since I'm going with an engine that is 20oz lighter, I'm more than a little concerned that I'll be adding lbs back to the nose to make the plane balance out.

By the way, I'm very open to discussion and constructive feedback on better ways to do this plane so that I am able to meet some of my targets. Like I said , hoping to learn a thing or two here.
