Yup. You are so right. As for my Tiger 120, well, even with that over one pound of added nose weight, and with those wrenches in the nose of the Cadet, well, they flew. But their rebuild of that cadet was somewhat beefy.. it was indeed heavy. I recall getting it off the ground, after a rather long take-off roll, it finally went airborne.. then flying at full throttle to gain altitude. I cut the throttle to about half and it immediately started to head towards terra-firma. I slowly added throttle until it started to level off again, and slightly climb, but realized that I was at full throttle!! Jeech, what a beast!

They also had a stick looking thing, all black. It too weight in more than it was probably intended to weigh, but I flew that too. And that was even more beasty than the Cadet. I got it up alright, but like the Cadet, it too required a lot of throttle to fly, if you want to call what it did was fly.
