I do things like that too, when it will work, Unfortunately, with it needing 6 oz of lead in the tail, that won't help much at all. The engine is already as far back as it can go, and moving a LIFE battery (nearly weightless) will accomplish virtually nothing. Moving the 2 servos to the tail would help a good bit, but I would still have to add about 4 ounces of lead in the tail. This plane is not at all worth all of that effort and headache.
Anyone want a nicely-built brand new Javelin airframe only and floats in the Atlanta GA area, for $100? All you have to do is solve this absurd problem, and you will have a nice plane. I
wasted $200 on this
POS kit.
