I have a YS 1.40 installed on the Remedy with the battery placed in the nose end and its still nose heavy. Are there any opinion or help on this problem?

If it's already nose heavy, why would you want to place the battery in the front? Did you mean tail heavy? Or, the battery pack is placed at the tail end?

Sounds like a trick question to me

If ya fly it inverted, then it'll be tail heavy. . .

My Apologies Guys

The darn thing is still "TAIL HEAVY" with a YS 1.40 which is heavier than the recommended Magnum 1.20. Also the engine is mounted all the way forward on the engine mount and I have also installed the spacer plate that was included with the kit. Please help if you can. Stayed up late the other night and made an error in my post my mistake. Standing by

Can you try a decent size header tank? I've never tried one with a YS, but it will add weight to the nose and won't change balance in flight as it remains full.

-Credit to Arch on this one, he's the one that taught me.

Is this plane built up construction? If it is, you can cut the covering from the stab and put some lightening holes in the ribs. I am having some tail heavy issues myself with my scratch build. The built up rudder started out fully sheeted, but now it has been lightened. I am also using a 1" park flier tail wheel from E-Flite - 0.6g. I bought two packs of 2 because I expect them to not last too long.

Rule of thumb; Since the tail is at least twice as far from the CG as the nose, every gram you can take off the tail is at least two grams you don't have to add to the nose. Maybe you should bring it to Hemet next month.

I went to Hobby People and looked at the manual. It looks like there may be some weight that can be saved on that tail. Just be careful not to weaken it.

Works well until you do one of my characteristic tailwheel landings, then the hub dematerialises and you've got a funny shaped tailskid!

Kinda extreme, but can you move the wing back?

I recently had a similar problem with my Shinden. First I tried swapping out my 1500mah NiMh 4 cell to a 2000mah 6 cell + vreg. This added 1.2 oz to the nose. I changed my tail wheel which removed .2 oz from the tail. This improved the flight performance but it was still too nose heavy. Next I moved the rudder and elevator servos furthur forward. I didn't think that was going to be enough so I also installed a 6 oz header tank (1.2 oz empty). As some have already experienced the header tank concept works great as far as the fuel supply operation. For me the 6 oz of fuel in the nose was way too much. I removed the header tank and switched back to the 1500 4 cell batt (removed the vreg). Just moving the servos turned out to be more than enough. Now the plane is just a little nose heavy. I can either move my battery back furthur or use a lighter Lipo and save weight.
