I did this in order to put more weight on the tail because I installed brakes and plan on flying off of pavement most of the time. I think I have around 40# tail weight. Not sure how this compares, but I can get the tail off easily by the time I have the power lever at full. I can land 3 point solo, and haven't felt the tail come up during agressive brake tests.for what it's worth....Stevee________________________________________________________________________________
