I've bought the Fusuno Airwolf fuselage and installed everything and turns out tail heavy even placed ESC, Rx & lipo upfront. So I add more weight to counter the CG. Now it weights at 1240 grams RTF.
Is this over weight ?
What is the ideal weight?
Also need to know the pitch & throttle curve for scale flying.

Need help here guys. Any comments /suggestions are much appreciated and Thank you in advance.

I mounted a MD500E fuse on my Trex 450 and had the same problem (not quite as bad) I had to add weight to the nose to balance CG- AUW is about 700+g. Not nearly the 1200 you have, but still pretty weighty. I imagine yours will be a bit hard to get off the ground- if you do get it in the air, it wont stay up long before your batteries run out.
Without the fuse, I get 12+ minutes from a pack; with the fuse I only get about 8 minutes and the ESC & Motor get quite hot.
