Default Seagull Models Edge 540

Hi guys,
I have some questions.
My Seagull Edge 540 weighs in at 9.5lbs which after reading all this is just way too heavy. The wing itself weights 2lbs.
I've just checked the CG and it's about 3cm from the leading edge of the wing.

I use 9202 servos all round apart from 9204 on rudder. I have an OS 91 SX-H and approximately 500ml fuel tank with a header tank and perry pump setup. I have a 2400mah Sub C battery pack on board right up behind the firewall.

I seem to be having more than my fair share of failures. Today an elevator half came off in flight again (if you read earlier you'll see on my first flight an elevator came off followed quickly by the wings clapping hands).

My question here is, what are the weights you guys are at?

I'd also like to see the following info:
Weight of plane,
Weight of wing itself,
Engine/Prop combo
CG point.

Thanks very much!

Regards,
Si
