Here's the update on the CG. initially CARF told me the CG should by 7" from the wing root. I just asked again this week and they sent a few photos that I attached. It looks like its more at 6" at wing root. At the wing tip, if you have someone help pick up the plane, it should balance between the fuel cap outline and the panel line shown in the photo. I've made my final decision and going to balance at 6.5" at the wing root. I just split between both suggestions. should be fine to start. Now, with this new information, I will not have to add any lead to the tail. so, I will remain around 47-48 pounds. the plane balances right at 6.5" at wing root.
