Default RE: Engine Weight effect on CG?

The effect of weight added on cg depends on how far it is added from the the cg. Adding a few ozs near the tail will move the cg back as much as removing 4-8 ozs from the engine . I would tape on a couple of ozs to the fuse as far aft as is convenient and see how I liked it. That is a lot easier than changing engines and easier to tinker with to get what you want.
