Default RE: Hobby People Cap 10, question?

Hi JDS,

I recently purchased this VQ Cap 10 and an SV26cc rear induction gas engine. My engine, muffler and ignition module weigh in at 3lbs 6 oz. I have a few questions that I was hoping you could shed some light on: Did you need a large amount of tail weight to balance yours? I'm guessing that the batteries will be going in the tail at a minimum. Do you know the weight of your engine? What recommendations would you make regarding firewall / engine box reinforcement? I will make sure I secure my canopy per your recommendation.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Eric
