Default TF Beechcraft Bonanza

Fantastic model, but why even with the biggest recommended engine (OS FS-120S) it still needs 700g (23oz) of lead in the nose.
Other recommended option-OS 91FX, would probably require over 30 oz. of lead. Why TF can not be more careful with balsa selection
for their kits? From the wing trailing edge up to the tail, balsa in the kit is more than useless. I have an impression that their kits design
engineers were taken straight from ferniture/coffin industry. Dissapointed with beechcraft, when building TF Warhawk P-40E I have replaced
their nonsense supplied materials with competition balsa (trailing edge to tail). As a result this model needed 6oz of lead at the tail????
I wonder if you have the same impressions about those almost good designs.

FYI my Beechraft has been covered with Monokote film, withoud balsa priming, sealing etc.
