Bow tank,but you pay the price as every gram takes power to move it.

Good thing about a tank is you can fill it when you need it and empty it when you dont, where just adding weight will hurt a bunch when you don't need it. the farther forward you put it the less amount you need.

...and a sizable bow tank adds a big polar moment of inertia which can have a negative impact on pitch stability. Shifting the large masses (engines) to achieve the desired Lcg position (with a small bow tank to fine tune) works much better from a dynamic stability perspective.

the moment. shows how far it moves. if you also must raise the motor a little, that messes with VGC ( vertical center of gravity). use the same formula
