I was just saying, from the original post. If 1 lb of weight needed to added to nose to balance the CG correctly.
You might as will add wieght that will produce power instead of dead wieght.

The over all weight effects the model's power to weight ratio.

I just fine it odd that you would need to add 1lb of weight to an arf or a model , especailly when there's retracts.
The retacts components are mounted forward of the CG (tail dragger). If anything, one would think it might had came out nose heavy.
