Still you live and learn I suppose.

Carl, It's an electric plane. The flight LiPo battery is 4"X1.25"X.75" and weighs almost 5 oz.. When it's in its correct location the CG is perfect. Move it 2.5" aft and the plane is tail heavy. Enough so that full down elevator wouldn't bring it to level flight.
