JOE- I remove blind nuts by running a screw in about 1/8 in and rapping it on the head with a small hammer or hammer substitute. You want any airplane to balance correctly; noseheavy causes problems too. Try putting an OS .70 fourstroke on the front. That's what I had to balance; I wound up putting an 1100 mah battery pack as far back as I could; cut a hatch in the bottom of the fuselage. It was either that or add six oz of lead to the tail! ...JIM
