[QUOTE="sickslow, post: 315013, member: 1910"] The power to weight ratio and also the center of gravity could both be countered but what could not be countered is the surface load of the wings. An airplane has a given amount of lift generated at various speeds. The planes are designed to supply a sufficient amount of lift at a given speed in order to keep the airplane in the air. After adding so much weight in the front with the motor and weight in the back to counter balance the engine the airplane would have to fly at twice the speed in order to provide sufficient lift to keep it in the air. Structural integrity at this speed would be an issue and landing it would be like trying to throw a rock on wheels down a hallway. [/QUOTE]
