The CG was at 123mm back for the leading edge at the wing root, 28% MAC. Elevators sensitive. So I finally resorted to putting some lead shot (mixed with epoxy) in the lower lip of the cowling. About six oz. CG is now 115mm back 26.5 MAC. I hope to get a chance to fly tomorrow and see what difference this makes. Total empty weight is now right at 19 lbs. So my verious repairs and the lead have added about a half pound to total weight.
