As Poppy says "Stratching her legs". The plan is to add weight to the nose by filling the cowling with silicone caulk and lead weight prior to setting the prop.

If this is roughly 1/24, 1.6oz of lead (scale weight of the Allison V-1710) in the middle should balance it!

As it stands right now, 1.85oz placed on the cowling makes the nose wheel touch down. Lots of solid carved balsa and sheet styrene pieces were used to the rear of the c of g. Excellent weight calculation James.
