I would not try and fly a 10lb plane with a .60 size engine, every,never, no way!!!

Okay, what do you base that tail heavy comment on? Experienced builders routinely find a way to remedy that issue prior to covering. When I build a boat, in my case sport and scale hydroplanes, I have to balance them to within a very narrow window to prevent blow overs or plowing. Balancing a plane isn't any different, other than the fact that you can place the engine as far forward as you want where I can't in a boat.
