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.
Your math is wrong. You are forgetting the moment arm part of the equation. If you put 2 oz 10 inches back from the CG it will take 5 oz 2 inches in front of the CG to balance out. Moving 3.2 oz 20 or so inches forward will make a huge difference. You will of course lose some of that gain with the weight of the push rods, but you should be able to lose most, if not all, of the nose weight. How far forward is your battery?
