I will probably move it forward a bit more to be cautious for the first flight.

The instruction book calls for 175mm back from the wing indentation (and handy-dandy panel line) - NOT the lip. Several other threads exist, and Bob Klenke had his at 185mm when we talked. I maidened at 185 and am moving it back (due to the amount of up elevator needed) as did he. I will try to pull the plane down tomorrow night (have a meeting until late tonight) and look at where you have it measured vs where I am now.
