Byron kits certainly do come out a little heavier than most but it always amazed me that even with the few extra pounds of weight they still fly better than most. I would love to get my hands on another Byron Corsair somtime and build it the way I should have built my first one. Too many other projects in the line first though.

I didn't realize the hellcat would need that much weight in the nose to balance out. Since that is that case, ballast that creates horsepower is always better than ballast that just sits there for the free ride!

Good luck...
