Default RE: Adding weight to planes

Mike, The Seawind does not have a "CG Range" it has to be balanced exactly where GP specifies (Dry)

I had to add 22oz of lead to the nose and that was WITH the battery pack in the nose as well (See attached pic)

I should mention that I omitted the nose wheel assembly which accounted for some of the additional weight needed.

How did it fly? It's the best seaplane I ever flew!

Here's a link to the review, check out the video:
