Well, you are entitled to your own opinion, but based on your comments, I can read into the reason(s) why no response.

Any way, for what it is worth, you don't need the 21 ounces of weight you have in the nose. Read through the other thread. The answers are all there. I don't have any extra weight in mine. 8 1/4 to 8 1/2 in. CG range will give you a hands off neutral flying plane. Further back will provide you with a more radical 3D set-up. If you go through the set-up process correctly, and trim the plane for hands off flight, you will see no need for the added weight.

Mine built very well, and I always received very good service. But I follow a simple rule in life....treat those as you would like to be treated. Always works for me.

Good luck. If you would like and set-up advice, PM me and I will tell you my complete set-up. This plane flies great. If they were in stock, I would buy another as a back-up right now.
