I have the 6S and did some weight and balance work to see what I would have to do for my JF/HET system to go into it using batteries that are a 6+2, with the 6S being 575-645g and the 2S being 250g.
When I built mine I put two 21g slugs in the stinger to have a good balance with the 6S, balance at 25-30mm behind the marks, 25 without stores and 30 with stores.
To balance the 6+2 and 8S fan would take serious weight in the tail (I forget the number I came up with but more than I wanted to consider). I did calculate that if I put the 2S under the speed brake it wouldn't take any additional weight, or a very minor amount. Adding an AB is very minor as little as they weigh and as far forward as the fan is.
Admirals are usually heavy and to consider 6000's??? Why not go with around 4500-5000?
