I don't have a completed weight just yet, but should be able to get some numbers this weekend.
I have balanced it an eeny, teeny, bit nose heavy, and my tank is right in front of the wingtube, so it is slightly nose heavy with a full load, but hardly noticeable. I have to run the engine in again, in the air because it came back from DA this Tuesday and they upgraded (new piston) and did some mods on it, so my initial break in has to be done over again. But, I couldn't help wondering how good this will look with a smoke system, so I can ditch some of the deadweight and replace it with a Slimline system !

I still have some unresolved issues with BME and am still waiting for replacement wheel pants and a canopy from Max. This is from December and it is starting to get old with them. I am not impressed that it has taken this long, nor with their policy to not break open another kit and disperse the parts to guys that need them. However, Max has informed me that the new plane will indeed have a lot of carbon fibre parts, and can only hope that I will receive new carbon fibre wheel pants for the replacement parts. Worth the wait? I doubt it, as they should have anticipated the need for parts.

It is still a very nice aircraft, but I would be on the fence about buying another until they got their replacement parts, etc, sorted out.
