Default RE: Adding weight?

I hate adding weight to a flying model airplane. You can cut a ring out of 3/8" plywood and use it as a spacer under your engine mount. Moving the engine further forward will increase move the CG forward. Just coat the wood in CA or epoxy to fuel proof it. That is, of course, if your engine mount won't allow for you to slide the engine forward without drilling too many holes in the material.
