I might as well chime in here....

My 24% is right at 11lbs dry, with a 3 lb 1.6 gasser up front. I used very light weight covering(the same stuff used on park fliers) to keep the overall weight down. STILL, it balances 1/2" behind the wing tube. I'm ready to test fly, but don't want to add any dead weight up front. I wonder what the safe CG range is on this plane??

I detect a small design problem with this plane also. Seems to be designed for a 3 lb+ engine up front, yet they spec it out as a 9-10 lb plane. I suppose no one would by it if they said 11-12 Mine is built dead stock in the tail.

Everyone's I've heard of seems to be coming out tail heavy.
CA really needs to move the wing tube location rearward about 1/2 to 1" in order for this thing to balance correct with a light glow motor. It was designed for elevator servo's in the tail right??

IMO The wing looks short in proportion to the fuse length. adding 4-5" to each tip would get the wing loading back down in the mid 20's
