Default RE: balancing my plane

Well, I came home from work and tried balancing my plane upside down. It is still nose heavy but I am going to try and rearange my battery and receiver set up and try and shift some weight. That's is a great idea. I was worried I was going to have to stick lead to the outside of my fuse tail. Anyway, thanks for the help everybody.
The Four Star 40 directions are pretty iffy on the CG balance instructions. I will let you guys know how the first flight goes. I'm running a "heavy" supertiger 40 and using a Futaba skysport 6 radio. My other plane (kadet LT 40) is getting floats and a new engine. It has a 15 year old O.S. Max 40 on it that is literally falling apart at the crank case. That thing has been on like 8 planes throughout its life. Good ol' engine.

thanks again!
