I have an idea! If you cut your hair and put it all in the tail I bet it would ballance perfectly[sm=thumbup.gif]

Just kidding. I used to be young once too and I had long hair to go with it. Enjoy it while you can. I would hessitate to add any weight to the model. You should be able to achieve ballance by moving the battery back inside the plane. And it is my strong opinion that adding significant amounts of weight to the tail of an aircraft (ie. 12 oz AKA: 3/4 Lbs.) is just lazy. Build a battery hatch. The lighter the plane is the better it flies. I have never added more than 1 oz (4 squares of that stick on lead) to ballance a plane.
