RE: GSP Sukhoi very tail heavy. HELP!!!
Agreed.
"stretching" the nose has served me well in the past. I had to do that on my BME Edge. The gap between the cowl and spinner is a little big, but I can live with it.
I am not sure which would be less work. Either way it is gonna be a pain.
Using a lightweight 45cc motor has me at 15 pounds already. That G62 will put you up there even higher. With all these tricks, it may just work out for you. I actually considered getting that motor for it. If that was all it took I would have done it but even with that I still would have needed to move the servos etc.
I don't mind being a little overweight but at some point it gets so heavy it turns into a warbird.
