Big Mike,

Thank you! That's almost the same experience I had with my Avistar RTF except that I haven't moved it back past 3-5/8 yet. That makes me feel a lot better that someone else had to add that much tail weight to get it to balance right. I've heard that taking the stock muffler baffle out can increase power. I don't kow how true that is, but I did it on my 40LA and it seemed to give it some more power and not that much more noise, but I can't be sure until I put it back. Less power will probably be a lot more noticeable than more power. Good report on the 40LA too, but I still think I'm going to go for a 46LA as soon as I find one that's not blue. Nothing against blue, but I just don't think it would fit in with the Avistar's great color scheme.

Hmm... maybe the mousse can pipe on the 46 would be something to try too.
