You might be a little on the high side with weight, but not way out. Mine has 28oz of lead along with two 2600 A123s, and a 2S, 4,000 LiPo pack and is balanced in the middle of the CG range. I'm running a relatively light engine (JC Rabbit) and took steps to put everything as far forward as possible.
