I don't think you need to add any nose weight.

Many thanks Thailazer for that. I'm putting an ASP 91 fourstroke on the plane. It weighs 640 grams. It will take another 100 grams to balance it. But I'm taking your good advice and bending back the main gear wheels and I won't add any weight to the nose either and hope for the best. Happy new year to you.
