Default Giant scale Ultimate Biplane

I received the Giant Scale Ultimate last thursday and have been trying to finish it. The fuselage is way too tail heavy. According to the plane the CG is at 109.1mm from the front edge of the top wing. In order to get the plane to balance I will have to add 2.5lbs of lead to the nose, something is wrong. I am a 25 yrs plus expert builder and take my word for it that is way too much. I have placed all batteries and Ignition on the engine box and just have the rudder servo in the middle of the plane and the two elevator servos in the rear of the plane as per the planes. This is going to be too heavy to fly and the weight I need to add is more than half the weight of the motor itself. Will you contact me back to see about a call tag for this plane to get a credit. I can't keep this kit and risk crashing a $1500 setup. If you can please call me at 205-655-2848 during 9-6pm central.
