The only other plane I had no choice on was the ACE 4-60 I picked up for the Saito. I put my OS 70 on it and still had to add a few ounces to the nose for it to balance. That bugger was built tail heavy. All the rest of my plane have no dead weight, I was able to compensate CG by moving things around. My LT-40 started out with about 1 1/2 ounces on the nose, which later fell off somewhere, sometime, but hasn't affected it at least that I notice. My SIG 1/5th Cub balanced out perfectly, not a drop of lead was needed.
