I was happy to see I”m at 23.2lbs dry it sounds like that’s a pretty good weight.

It’s really light on the nose when the CG is correct with “landing fuel”, I read I think Dave posted that somewhere, but it’s only like 1/2 pound on the nose? Does that sound right for anyone using the Xicoy CG scales? Like without fuel in it, it might actually sit back on the tail, I didn’t try that though. I have the 4 liter tank and put one liter in as landing fuel.
JP gear?
Are you doing a manual balance or ‘variable’ electronic one? Depending on the equipment installed and layout, but I would guess batteries just in front of tank (rear of cockpit) would be a “normal” installation
