Default RE: Ready for second plane?

I'm sure I'm still nose heavy. The Super Tigre is a heavy engine thanks to the huge muffler on it. I've added tail weight but felt like I was adding way too much to get it balanced. I'll try adding some more weight to see if it helps with the landings. My dad's low wing is a Carl Goldberg Skylark 56 Mark II. I bought it from a friend at work for my dad. It came with an OS and all servos installed for $20. Throttle was frozen but we were able to break it free. It started right up even though the thing had probably been sitting around for 10+ years, Anyway, looks like the Skylark will be my next plane. Dad wants to learn to fly so I'll teach him on my Tower Trainer if he gives me access to his Skylark. Thanks all for your input.
