Did you balance it on the CG? I don't have the cowl on mine yet (waiting until the engine is fully broken-in), but I did have to move the battery closer to the servos.

Turn off the all caps, please.

If I am not mistaken, one strip of the Prather lead is 3 ounces.

I have a Spacewalker II with an OS 46AX and 1 ounce of lead in the tail to balance. Mine flies very nice.
