Default Stinger 120

I'm building an 80" Stinger 120 and in discussion with the distributor I was told that lots of their guys have built them with G-38's for power. Ok, so I'm putting my G-38 on it and it's so nose heavy that I'm gonna have to put a brick in the tail to get it to balance.
Anyone built one of these and if so what power plant did you use? Balance problems? Solution?
I'm considering putting a hatch in the belly toward the rear to mount the receiver and battery as far back as possible. Anyone got any other genius ideas I might steal? Er, I mean borrow. I even put the two elevator servos in the tail and it didn't help enough. Originally, it only called for one servo up in the front. Yeah, right.
