Hi surf,

The Skybolt tends to build tail heavy. My GP Skybolt weighs in at just over 10#. I'm using a GMS .76 engine with Jtec Pitts muffler which together weigh 2 lbs 1oz. I put the 1000mAh RX battery against the firewall under the fuel tank. I moved the servo mounting tray forward probably 2" as well. I still added a 2 oz spinner weight to get an acceptable balance at the recommended location. I do have a Sullivan tailwheel brackett setup instead of the kit method, but everything else is stock.
Even with the necessary weight the plane flies very nice. I keep a bit of speed up on the landings, but other than that she does great. I would just make sure you have everything you possibly can moved forward, such as the battery and radio, then add what you must to bring the balance in.

Any Pics??

Have fun.
