IS THE SlowPoke's CG RIGHT ???

I just picked up a nice used SlowPoke 40 ARF for my wife to fly.
It has an O.S LA .40 bushing engine on it now and I know the LA .40 will fly it just fine. BUT,
To balance the plane at the recommended GC of 4 5/8 inch back from the leading edge,

I need to add 12 oz of lead to the front of the plane. WOW that’s a lot of dead weight.

Have you guys just added the weight to the nose??

I’m thinking a bigger engine just for the weight.

I have a new Alpha .45 engine that is HEAVY but I don’t know how they run.
