Default RE: Avistar Balancing

Sorry I just reread my first post. When its just setting is when its nose high. When I check it at 3.5 inches behind the leading edge as per instructions is when the nose drops. The reason I talked about it was to ask if adding larger wheels on the back of the tric gear to level it on the ground and adding a little rear weight to balance it when I hold it up. Kinda killing two birds with one stone type deal. One reason it might be nose heavy is I padded the tank area with a lot of thick foam. The instructions dont call for it, but most any other aplication I have ever seen recomending padding the tank. And I am also using the thick foam to pad my reciever and battery's. Most of the time it shows the thin foam but I like a lot of padding. That may be the cause of my unbalance.

I forgot to ask. Does 3.25-3.5 sound right. I noticed the manual was not right about a few things and wanted to make sure this was right.
