Default How Much Weight Is Too Much?

Hi,

I'm not new to here, but I haven't ever posted in the forums. I am building my second plane (Goldberg Tiger 60) and it has come out really tail heavy which probably came from I having converted it to a tail-dragger. I have moved the battery up and added approximately 6 1/2 oz of weight to the nose. Is this too much?My engine is an O.S. 91 4 stroke. I'm thinking about using a 1500 mah battery, but all that would add is .7 more oz. I looked in another post by "ferocious frankie" and all he mentions is his plane came out tail-heavy. What do you all think?
