Got mine up in the air today for the first flights. 2.4 Brisson in the nose. No lead to balance at 6".

bentgear,
Your CG is at 6" and it does not seem too tail heavy to you? If thats the case I can get mine to bal at 6" no problem.
You can't compare 3.2oz in the tail to say, 3.2 oz in the noze as you have the location of the weight in the back to consider too. Three oz in the tail is going to affect the cg much more than in the nose.

I'm not sure how you figure that our, something times the distance from the cg, but the Caps are a short nosed plane and all of them suffer from the same problem. They tend to be tail heavy.

Jim!
