Default Balancing the PT-40

Ok so im at the point in the instructions to balance my plane. It says that on the PT-40 the balance point is 4 7/64" from the leading edge. I have the GP balancer. And have set it so the points are as close to the fuselage as i can get them. I have the battery moved back as far as possible as with the servo tray, and I am coming up very nose heavy. Has anyone balanced one of these and know if that is the correct point. I thought i read somewhere on a thread that that wasnt accurate for the cg. The 4 7/64" puts it right behind the main spar. If it makes a difference the engine im using is the OS 46 LA. Any insight on this would be great. Thanks.
