Default RE: skylane

Hello:

Just working on my H9 Skylane and thought I would share what I'm doing to my kit. (Basically creating a lot of work for myself)

Spec:
Engine- ASP 160 twin with onboard ignition
Nose Gear - Sierra Precision " Awesome"
Scheme - Throw away the vinyl and cut and peeled the covering off the fiberglass wingtips. Then sanded and filled the wing tips and painted blue. Unfortunately I was a dumb @&# and got overspray on my wings, so I recovered them.

Questions to y'all - has anyone had any experience with this engine combo? I've read some posts on other threads, where guys are having to add a lot of nose weight, when running glow engines. Which would make sense the plane was designed around a heavy gasser. I'm going to do a prelimary weight and balance with all servo moved up front and if I have to do this, then all tail feathers will then be set up as pull/pull

I'll post pictures latter.
