Default RE: Funtana 90 What engine ???????? help

My buddy has a certified shipping scale and it tips his at 8lbs 1 ounce. My non certified bathroom scale shows 8 even. I added no weight, and I put the battery in the middle of the plane, just behind the wing tube to get it to balance at the CG for starters... I used Hitec servos, and a 7 channel Futaba RX. I dont know how you get a heavier engine with nose weight to go the same CG. I guess it doesnt matter, CG it and go with it.. Maybe the models are built with that much variance.
