Default GSP Corsair - Where is it balancing with your engine?

I am curious what people are finding out for the balance point of the GSP Corsair with different engines. I am looking at an RCV 90 or 120 based on weather the plane comes out nose heavy or tail heavy

Thanks for your input

Now for a serious reply. Mine had an OS 120 and balanced a little tail heavy but it flew fine like that. I have just traded for a saito 150 that is a few ounces heavier and that should bring it in better. Just keep the plane out of direct sun as much as possible. All fiberglass airplanes (especially dark ones) will absorb heat and can disfigure. I keep mine covered with a white sheet on a sunny day until Im ready to fly. I have had no problem with direct sun exposure for up to 30 minutes which is all Im willing to chance.
