Lou, I've got a similar set up to you and I only need 18 lbs in the 
nose. Until I swapped over to a lighter (Odyssey) battery I only needed 
12 lbs. It might be the prop. I've got a 2 blade AymarDemuth but I don't 
think it's that much lighter that a Catto (hope not as I've had a Catto 
on order going on a year now and it should be here soon. Or maybe I just 
weigh a bunch more than you do (I'm 185lbs)...Tom-----Avg W&B for my
