Default H9 1/3 Scale Cap - Balance problem

Hi All,

I finished my Cap last night, here is the setup:

Brison 6.4 twin
All digital servos
Built according to the manual.

Receiver and radio battery (6v) are where the manual shows the receiver is supposed to go.

The manual says to measure back from the leading edge 4 1/4 and 5 3/4 inches, this is the balance range. Says to pick it up by the wing tips to balance, being a low wing airplane I figured it would need to be balanced inverted, but the manual says upright.

Here is the problem, I'M WAY NOSE HEAVY! The balance point is 3 inches from the leading edge.

Anyone else have this problem? Anyone care to share how they got this monster to balance? From what I uderstand the Brison 6.4 is lighter than the recommended Zenoah GT-80??

My Cap has 3W85 and balanced fine with the batteries just at the rear of the canopy hatch opening. Rcvr and isolator just in front of that. Plane has Tru-turn spinner with lightened backplate which helps.

I have my batterys in the same place as Capt G and a smoke
tank behind the wing tube and was able to balance by
putting the ign battery in the hole beside the fuel tank,
Try moving everything back and I believe you might be
close.
