Default Tailheavy - what to do

Hello,

it appears that I was somewhat inaccurate in my prebalancing checks.

I have now used a 5 cell nimh receiver pack up forward and I gave the inside of the cowl a thin coat of epoxy to beef it a little and with the spinner the plane is almost at the cg indicated in the book.
i will just tie on a small piece of lead to the front and if I need to remove nose weight later on I will move the battery back.

The plane is just over 7lbs powered by Saito 100.
hoping to fly this Sunday.
