Brad: There are exceptions to every rule. For instance, have you ever owned a Goldberg Tiger 120? If not, they I assure you, 18 ounces of lead in the nose is needed to make that thing meet the CG requirements, safe enough to fly. Yeah, you read it right, 18 ounces. It has an OS 1.20 AX engine. Can you recommend an engine that is 18 ounces heavier than that one (be reasonable now.. ) ?
