Sourkraut,
Thanks for the advice. I just weighed and balanced her and she came in at 10 lbs even. Balance at 5.5'' back from LE at the root was just a tad nose heavy. MUCH better. I like my birds to fly neutral so, I may add an ounce or two to get the sweet spot. When I turn them inverted, I like little to no forward stick at mid throttle. After I fly her tomorrow I'll have a better idea of how she balances in flight.
I'm happy with the set-up so far. Wish me luck on the first flight.

Mine came in at 9lbs 12oz without cutting the bottom out of the canopy and using the stock landing gear. (just like she came out of the box)
Balance her at 5.25-5.5" and the maiden will be a success.
Good luck with the maiden
