Adding Nose Weight to Great Planes' Giant Chipmunk
How much nose weight did you have to add to yours? Mine has a 1.20 Surpass, and I'm looking at 21/2 to 3 pounds.

Seems a bit excessive.
Where do you have the battery ? If you can, pack it under the fuel tank. That will help !
Are you using a Higley heavy hub. That would help.
I installed a Saito 1.50 and balanced to the rear of the C/G. And I didn't have to add that much weight.

I installed a ZDZ 40 and needed no extra weight to balance it , that enabled me to use a smaller (16 oz,)fuel tank , It weighs 14lbs. ready to fly ... Its an Awesome Flyer ....
