JohnnyK Keep in mind that the key to keeping the nose down is to add weight as far forward as possible. The closer the weight is to the main landing gear the less efective it is.

Sometimes it helps to look at extremes. You could load fifty pounds on the model over the mains and guess what, it would still be tippy.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Sometimes builders go to such extremes to weight a model, when a simple little tail prop will fix the problem
Or, you can use something like the crews' ladder to prop up the tail. This is a B-24 that I built 3 years ago.
Your comments and questions are always welcome.
