RE: Venus II
As I said it is not overly nose heavy even with the 120 4 - stroke which is a fairley heavy engine. I COULD balance mine with only 3 ozs. in the tail. I don't consider this overly nose heavy. Besides it flies just fine the way it is.
Besides if you went with the single upfront servos and put a GOOD .61 in it I think it would fly just fine. You could bring it in under 8 lbs. with the .61 - not too shabby.
