Canopy...I put the same plane together last month,....Tower Hobbies engine, (bought as a combo package, saved a few bucks)...used a GP CG machine, it showed me as being way nose heavy too, wasn't smart enough, (as you are) to ask a few questions before I balanced to Kyosho instructions....added 3 1/2 ounces to achieve recomended CG....heres what happened...I hope you get this before you go try to fly that thing.

Hi, i just finished putting this arf together, and im a little baffled. I used an OS46AX as recommended by Kyosho (they recommend 46FX, but the AX is virtually identical in weight), put everything where they recommend it, and my plane is nose heavy. by something like 12 ounces. 12 ounces of Tail weight???? What is going on here? There is really no place to relocate the receiver and battery, so I guess Im stuck with lead. any idea why it would come out so off?
