Default Balance Woes

Well, the .61 FX might be coming out. I finally got the energy and the time to adjust out the ailerons and balance the airplane. With this engine, it is going to need 3.5 to 4 ounces of wieght in the tail, that's even with changing the engine mount out. That will put the airplane at 6 pounds and 3.5 ounces. I just don't know that I want to go there...

I figure it'll be almost 11 ounces lighter with a .46FX so I am thinking it over... The wing loading will go from 25.5 with the .61FX down to 22.7 with the .46FX. I just don't kow if I will be happy with the performance of the smaller engine...
