cant rember the actual number of cg, but I balance all mine at the furthest back of there suggestions. So what ever that is it what its balanced at. Sorry Im not full of answers. And I dont know what the weight is. But it is very light. Im waiting to fly my buddies with a 53 four stroke. I think it will be too heavy of a motor though. Im not crazy about the way it flies, seems to waddle at slow speeds. Mainly because the rudder is not that effective. I have prob. 45-50 degrees throw in the rudder. I can fly along and crank in all the rudder and it barely shows. When doing tail touches, I can bend the rudder stick to straiten up and it still doesn't do much. I usually use alot of aileron and elevator to keep it strait. I know that sounds weird but that is what works for mine. Whats cool though is at 1ft off the ground and quickly give it left aileron and it does a supersonic torque roll. (NOT torque) but roll.
