Mine is definitely nose heavy with the G-62 engine. Useful tail weight mods are stabilizer-mounted elevator servos using the surface-mount servo holders from Hobby Express. I epoxied a 1/8" plywood spacer for servo clearance to the stab. This also gives the mounting screws something solid to bite into. This mod will also make removing the stab/elevator halves easy for transport.
