Hi,

Ive just balanced my Kyosho Spitfire 40 ARFT kit on a GP CofG gauge and ive needed to add just under 1lb (1 pound) of weight to the nose/engine area to balance this plane. Ive been told the engine im using which is a OS46LA is quite a light engine.. Ive bascially moved everything as far forward as i could to get the right CofG but it still needs all this extra weight to balance properly.

The question is does that much sound normal ??? just seems a bit excessive for me, but im only following the instructions and using a proper gauge as it states 90mm from leading wing edge and im balancing it with the plane upside down, empty of fuel. Im going to attach the lead to the motor mount with screws...... will that be ok ??

Thx for any imput into this as i plan to fly her next sunday, so i just wanted to double check
