Did the weight/balance and she came out:

29.8 LBS. With Zenoah G-62/Spring Starter.
2700 MAH 6 volt JR NIMH Batt in fwd compartment


I added 36 oz of weight.......thats 2lbs 4 oz! I think I may need a little more. I do not have a CG stand so I need to make this a two person job. (it is not easy) But I think I am in the ball park. What do you all think?

I would like to Maiden tomorrow....if the weather is good.

Make a vanessa rig and use that to balance it. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/tips...g-rig-how.html

It's easy to make, just a block of wood, a dowel, a plumb bob, a small level, a pulley and some rope. Balances any plane out there as long as you have the room to hang it with. I found that a couple planes I had balanced with the GP balancer were nose heavy after doing them on the rig, and they fly so much better now.
