Default CA 24% extra - ARC

Well, here goes my effort at a build thread.....

I ordered a CA extra (24%) from Planes Plus for a "Cant refuse" deal (returned/damaged).

After ordering the plane (almost ready to cover), I started doing some research in the forums. I found that the 24% version was coming out way tailheavy when built by the numbers. The wing area was not as large as expected as well (approx. 880 sq.?). Reports were that it tracked very well (long fuse) but was no 3D machine. My plan then was to keep the plane as light as possible and at all costs, make sure I wouldn't have to add nose wieght.

Here is how it came in the box on June 22nd.
