I added some great stuff foam to seal the epoxy and lead shot mix I had added to the nose.
Your engine is almost a pound heavier than mine so that accounts for some of the weight. I don't remember the exact measurement, but my CG is in the middle of the range so that would probably account for the rest. Yours should fly great with the 120, my Rabbit is an older version that puts out 19lbs that I got for a smokin price, but sometime I wish I had more power. If I were to do it again I would go with at least 22lbs. It's a great flying plane, great everyday sport flyer.
