Default RE: BME Edge?

Well, I have it finished. I am not real happy with the balance, but everything else came out nice. The balance is 5 1/2" back from the LE at the fuse. To you guys that are flying this, is that safe? I like a fairly tail heavy plane, but I don't want something that is going to be dangerous. I can replace that stock tail wheel setup, but that is not going to move the cg much. I checked the cg without the tail wheel on there and it only advanced it a little. I don't want to add lead cause it is already 17.2 lbs, but I don't want a terrible handling airplane either. I know some of these manufactures cg are real conservative, and I hope thats the case on this one. Should be able to try it out when the weather clears a little.
