Default Defiant Model 74 Flight problems

Hello all. has anyone successfully balance and flown the rutan defiant from nitro planes? I have had two unsuccessful flights, waiting for a CG verification from NM, as I am suspect of the numbers in the manual (we all know about the manuals) Instead of the 40 2 cycles I did put in the OS 70 4 cycles..First flight plane was extremely nose heavy...wouldn't lift off ground. Rebalanced to spec and now extremely tail heavy, will try in between for next flight but that takes me out of the CG range specified in the manual...again.

Anyone out there with a flying one please let me know your setup and where it balances out to!

THANKS!
