I imagine that will work, it should be a big help putting them in the nose. Yea I put my uat up front when I read other were adding some weight, hoping not to.
I am hoping I can remove my weight after first flight. If not, it is what it is, but I would really like to remove the extra weight.
I have 3 - 2S-5000mah lipos, and 1 3S-3800mah life. Not going to add any bigger here, just added a little weight each side under the batteries.
Not only that, but now mine weights 33.9 lbs. well over the expected weight, disappointing. Was hoping for a light jet around 24-28lbs like advertised. I just keep hoping it flys well.
