Cool, please post on how it felt to fly it at your current cg. looks like some work to get that stuff forward. I know one thing I do not like is installing the fuel tank on this plane, I hope I never have a problem with it.
did you get your carbon gear from troy built models?

I know if I was to do it again, I would use regular size standoffs, heck with the 1.25's. the cowl would of fit better and it would have saved the cg hooplah. Mine is at 4.25 inches cg, I believe it will fly fine, but waiting for the snow to melt. maybe this sunday if its nice out all week. California dreaming.
