Engine is new DLEl 40cc twin.
radio is spectrum .
Plane is biplane , built around heavy radial that was more trouble than I want to deal with
CG is front of bottom wing so not much room up front..
I'm thinking after I move all servos back from ignition plane will be tail heavy
Its my first gasser and I guess it would have been easier to go with glow.
Question...I read somewhere that length or distance from firewall to prop is not critical so if I make standoffs longer and move
Engine forward this will help me balance without adding nose weight..? Right?

Thanks for feedback guys
