ballancing issues
 

would it be alright to add lead weight inside the spinner to get weight as far forward as possible to ballance plane ???

Better to add a weighted prop nut or add weight to the engine mount. How would you balance added weight inside a spinner so the engine doesn't tear itself off the mount?

Have you considered moving the engine forward? That's "free" as it doesn't add any weight to the model but pulls the c.g. point forward. Also, putting the batteries in the fuel tank compartment helps.

if you add weight to the spinner then you'll have an unbalanced spinner, it would be better to add as much weight as you need at the firewall area.

Try this or something similar. It will also improve your idle

A heavy propeller, like APC will help.

Weight in spinner = no good idea

I just noticed that this is a duplicate thread of one posted earlier so I am locking this one down in favor of the other one.
