Thanks! That's what I was afraid of. The aircraft is from Giant Scale Planes. It's an ARF but an unusual one. It has a fg fuse and sheeted foam wings. I used fixed gear. The only real weight I added was a scale cockpit and pilot. The 'advertised' weight of the airplane has a top end of 10 lbs! I thought by using the twin on the nose I'd avoid a bunch of extra nose weight but it still took almost a pound up there to balance it.

Flying off our grass field certainly isn't going to help the accelleration on takeoff either. I do have flaps on it and intend to use them. As far as snapping...I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. Definately will balance a 'tad' on the nose heavy side for initial flights!

I'll check out the other forum! Thanks again!!!
