hey guys this is a question for the ones that have built showtime 50`s, i put a saito 91 in mine and it`s a little nose heavy, i put about 2 and a half ounces on the elevator hinge and it balanced great, i really just want to move the battery, but i really can`t see a good place to put it, i`m sure someone`s had to do it, i know it would be hard, but could you post some pictures??
thanks for all your help.

I have the same setup, but only needed 1 oz of weight in the tail to balance.
I did not move my battery back, but you can install a battery tray just behind the hatch. You can cut a piece of plywood to just sit on top of the ridge on each fuselage side.
BTW, I found the stock engine mount too flexible for the Satio 91 and went with a Dave Brown 90FS engine mount instead.
