I just added the 330cc tank and a boom mounted servo to my heli. I would like to know what do most of you do to get the center of gravity back ? I have a 1100mah 4 cell battery I believe it`s AA size..would it be smarter to get sub C`s or something larger to add the weight to the nose?? I really hate to just add dead weight to the front to balance this thing. Are the carbon tail fins lighter than the plastic ? ( As in lightening the tail as opposed to adding to the nose ) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.....Thanks in advance.

Saw off a few inches of the tail boom to make it shorter, no just kidding. I think you will find that it flies fine like it is. If you want, get a 1400 - 1800mah pack to replace your 1100. You can also do away with both tail fins, although it looks funny without them. The only real purpose of the horizontal fin is in fast forward flight and the vertical just protects the tail blades. Me personally, I would try it as it is first, then change battery if unacceptable. that shoudl be enough.
