Nice planes guys!

Now about this tail heavy problem with the GP Skybolt... I've anticipated some of this and have located the servo tray a few inches forward of the plans, and have placed the RX battery pack up against the firewall under the tank. I'm planning to use a GMS .76 engine with a jtec pitts which together weighs just over 2lbs! I'm hoping that this engine will be enough to at least pull it around the field. I'm not necessarily into the unlimited vertical etc. If I can do some simple loops, rolls, circle the field, and land in one piece I'm happy. With the 2 cycle I had to add three spacer blocks to the engine mount which also puts the weight a bit more forward than the 4 strokes. Was wondering what the weight of some of your engine/muffler combinations was, and if it was as much as my 2lb anchor. I suspect they total a bit less than that, and I may be OK without adding any more weight to mine.

Time will tell...if I ever get this thing finished up. More sanding on the bottom wing tonight to prepare for the bottom sheeting.
