Horizon Hobby - P-47D Thunderbolt - CG Fixed by Moving Lipo Forward

In this video I show how to move the CG point forward to help make the Horizon Hobby 1070mm P-47D Thunderbolt NOT fly tail heavy. My plane actually CG'ed out "perfectly" according to the manual with a 3S 2200mAh 60C Turnigy Heavy Duty slid all the way forward, but I feel the plane still flies a bit tail-heavy! I figured the easiest way to get this otherwise excellent plane to fly a bit better, would be to try and move the lipo forward to get the plane a bit more "nose heavy". Unfortunately, the lipo, from the factory, is all the way into it's cavity, with a brace holding it from moving forward any more...what to do???

Check out the video to see how I try and resolve my CG issues...

Before CG @ ~ 60mm from the leading edge of the wing root.
After CG @ ~ 48mm from the leading edge of the wing root!

I will post a flight video as soon as I can get one. The weather has been crap for a while now, so hopefully we're due for some nice days! (Here it is... https://youtu.be/pUaLqMZfjbI )
