Hey Gene, one more question. Is that Big Bingo a rear-mounted servo aircraft? From my understanding, 1 ounce in the rear means 4 ounces in the nose. If rear mounted servos, moving the servos to the center may help. I don't know... just a suggestion.

No it is not a rear-servo mounted setup-

gaRCfieldmotor is about as far forward as it can go. Near the end of mount so it would clear the carb on the firewall.

RCKenIt may be more like 18oz. I was setting a Cinnamon bottle on the bottom of the plane below the engine line. It is a low wing so I was balancing it upside down. The balance point was 4 3/4 from the LE according to the plans.
