Ok, the manual says that the CG needs to be 3.5" behind the leading edge. With the weight removed I can't hold it there without it slipping off my fingers because it is too nose heavy. if I move my fingers 1" forward then it will balance with the nose about 3" down from the tail.

I'll reposition my radio and see if I can make up some of this, but in the end I am pretty sure I'll need weight. It isn't just a little nose down it's WAY heavier on the front than rear.

So just to be clear, what I'm looking for is for the plane to point a little nose down but balance when I hold it up 3.5" from the leading edge where the manual says the CG should be.

Thanks,
