I know this thread is old but curious if anyone has a crazy amount of lead in the nose like my seawind? I searched and found one guy but seems not a lot of people with issues on the lead weight. I have to add about a pound of weight in the hull, under the battery or engine compartment to get this thing to balance. That puts me around 12.6-13.5 on the weight . Rather not put that much dead weight in the plane.

I have another plane light that and really with the manf. Can an option to add and remove that weight instead of epoxying that dead weight in.

Originally it was running a GT-15, 15cc gasser. I now have a e-Flite power-60 with the esc and the batteries(two 2200 spektrum lipos) in the fuel tank location.

Everything else is factory. I have added airtank system but no retracts yet.
