I share rusty's opinion, 30oz is fine. I've flown 34 oz ringmasters just fine. Also, on the one you suspect will need nose weight, how about just running a four stroke engine?

I don't own a four stroke engine.  I haven't covered and painted it yet either.  I know I am using a lighter weight box in the tail than these two, no steel washer (almost 1/4 oz)!

The ARF rebuild to stretched required 1/2 oz tail weight making it 31 ounces.  Pictures later

I flew the "to plan" flite streak today.  Lost the landing gear.  Had a line cut on my new lines, put on some spectra lines and flew well with a hand launch.  Most of the guys there had never seen a CL plane fly, and even though my skills suck they were somewhat impressed.

Got 2 flights in, lost 2 props... hmmm...
