Default RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

Hi all
Not having much luck anywhere else, so I thought I would try here. I just finished the Thunder Tiger September Fury. Put an OS 1.20 AX on it along with Robart retracts.

my hope is that some of you may also have one of the birds and can offer me some advice. I am particularly looking for info on the cg. it states 95 mm from the leading edge, but when you measure that out on the plane, it sits right on the wheel well. I am not sure how to get around this, but at that measurement, I am going to need a ton of weight to get her to balance. I thought that the bigger engine would offset some of this, but it still is going to need some serious weight .....does the Rare Bear have this issue as well?


Any GC help would be great, particularly on how to get around the issue with the cg right on the wheel wells. Can it be balanced upside down?

thanks all,
