Default RE: Four Star .40 Balance Question

Yeah...that's why I sheeted the rear deck, extend the rudder, beef up behind the wing mount former.
I went as far as even drilling holes in the doublers for the front part of the model.
Even then it was still nose heavy.lol

I could have went and bought liter landing gears...but I like the ex300 gears on it. it's beefier and taller.
The wheels on it..didn't help much in the matter..but I like those too.
The wheel pants and all the hardware probably added more wieght.

I cure it by spray painting the canopy black, Use screws to secure it. Moved back the head rest when I sheeted the rear deck.
Mountd the battery pack inside the cokpit. Drilled 2 hole on the cokpit bottom so I can run tie wrap to secure the pack.
CA a couple piece of wood in fornt and back of the pack to prevent the battery pack from move forward or backwards.

Trimmed the canopy down a little bit...to remove wieght.lol

It came out perfect for me after that.
