WHAP! Yet another open handed slap to the forehead! I've been flying RC for 31 years now, and this is my first attempt at a "pusher"----- I didn't even consider where the clunk oughta be. All makes sense now that you brought it up!

Well, it's finally DONE. Except for the canopy fastening to the fuselage....still thinking about that since I will have to transport the plane with the wings removed, and thinking about using velcro or those little magnets like some of the electrics use. If anybody has a good idea about that, holler!

I don't know what the plane weighs, but balancing at 16 3/16" back from the leading edge of the canard fit just about 3/4" in front of the specified 130mm (EDIT!!! The specs are NOT 130 mm but rather 152mm back from the leading edge---I was thinking about the 120 size Gee Bee that I bought at the same time as the Long EZ! The spot I checked the balance was in fact 152 mm and NOT 130!) back from the leading edge--which confirms what at least two posters have commented on the CG. Took 5 1/2 ounces of lead in the nose (in addition to the chunk of "ballast" that came with the kit) to balance---this being with the rear cowling and a 3 blade 9X7 prop on the 46AX, no wheel pants and no fuel.
