Red, after 36 years of balancing RC planes (and for 20 years before that of balancing CL planes) I know when to move everything as far forward as possible before adding weight to the nose, but I do appreciate the suggestion. I even looked at mounting the battery in the engine compartment but there was not enough room. I also had to add 1.25 oz to the left wing tip for lateral balance. This was also quite a bit more than I am use to. The plane is made of very dense hard balsa. At least it should be strong.
