I use Admiral 6S 6000 for all or my big birds: T-33, FL F4U, e-Flite FW 190 and soon the Spitty. I will be using two transducers, and where I put them will be determined by where I am able to place the battery. If it is full forward and not nose heavy, I will put them forward of the CoG line until it levels. Vice versa, if it is nose heavy, they will be aft of CoG. Usually, I try to place them dead on the CoG line to neutralize rheir weight. That is what I did for my F4U Corsair, but it ha s removable weights in the nose, and that helped.
ideally, I never add weights to a plane, if possible. It's dead weight. I'd rather use a heavy battery I can adjust position with. Without the Spitty in hand, I can make.no assumptions. It will figure it out before the transducers are glued in. I expect the Spitty to fly like it is on rails, just as my Corsair does. FL aircraft are top notch in my book. Unlike my e-Flite FW 190, which broke a landing gear strut on first roll out. I ran off the runway throttling up. Done this more than I hate to admit (not for a while now) and I have only ever have a strut be slightly bent. The FW 190 gear pin sheared clean in half between the strut and trunion. I was like wth? Ordered a new part, thinking no big deal, and I get two pins in the replacement part bag. Nope. Opened it to find one pin is Left and one is Right. Never seen any company do that. Pins are usually universal (in my experience), but I suddenly thought that maybe it made sense if it was known the metal of the pins were prone to breakage. Awesome business strategy e-Flite.
In any case, very happy with Flightline and Motion. I'm sure the Spitty will not disappoint. Shipped yesterday so should arrive in a few days.

I had the same issue with my Corsair, added all the weight I could in the nose and some more, using the same battery and sound system. I put the warbirds.com pilot in there with moving head, the 3D cockpit and added cowl flaps, but don't think that affected it much. I guess, just like these aircrafts pilot, for some reason they got a little to much baggage in the rear! 
Best, LB
