Default RE: Death of a Patty Wagstaff

Rebuild update.Plane is finished.Just need to recheck the CG.Before I "dorked it in",it flew great with no smoke oil in the tank.
After I filled the smoke tank it was tail heavy.I had to burn off most of the smoke oil before I could even try to land.Once I could tell it was not as tail heavy is when I turned the smoke off,I thought.Nope flipped the choke switch then "dorked it in".
So I installed the stock tank in its forward position(had a Dubro on the wing tube) and I also moved my 2 battery packs forward.This should counterbalance the smoke tank when filled.I can deal with a plane that is nose heavy better than a tail heavy one.
Once I check the CG I will know more and go from there.Here are a few pics.

Thanks for all the compliments.
