the plane weighs 7.6lbs (bathroom scale) - wish I had a fish scale. It balances a few ounces nose heavy at 120mm (manual recommended). Fuel tank is close to CG. because of the tank the nylon wing bolts are a pain. I have to unmount the tank (release velcro) to access the nylon bolts. Maybe this weekend - if weather is nice I'll maiden the plane. hopefully its a fun plane to fly.
