Woodie, thanks for the tip. It sounds as if im going to have to reposition my reciever from the back of the canopy hatch area to the just behind the firewall. Along w/ a heavier battery than the 2s 2170mah lipo i'm running now. I guesstimate that in order for me to get my CG as far forward as you have yours, i'd need another 4 to 6 oz of lead in the nose.
