Guys, my great planes big stik 60 is nose heavy, I have moved everything back as far as possible. The range is from 3-3/4 to 4-1/2 my CG is at 3 inches from the leading edge I was hoping to fly it tomorrow but I have none of the ugly lead weights.

How bad nose heavy is 3/4 of an inch from the bottom of the range ? Will it fly like crap?

Teach me to put a .75 on a .60 size plane I suppose.
I had a nose heavy plane and used a wooden prop, a pitts style muffler (instead of the stock one), and I cut down the aluminum motor mount. I ended up using 1 small piece of stick on lead to balance in the end. Good luck. Daren
