Default How much does your Lanier Edge weigh?

I just finished my Lanier Edge,I thought it was kinda heavy,but I weighed it on a digital bath scale that reads in whole numbers only and it says 13#what do you think?Here are the particulars:
Brison 2.4 w/CH ignition,spaced 1"from the firewall
4 Hitec 605BB
1 Hitec 615mg
1 Hitec 422
1 Hitec super slim 8ch reciever
1 1650mah nimh
1 1200mah nimh
2 JR A004 switches
24 oz fuel tank
PRO Zinger 20-8
Vortec spinner
I built it as per the book with the elevator servos in the rear,fuel tank is as colse to cg as possible,airborne pack is tie wrapped to the wing tube,no pilot,but I did install the wheel pants.I had to add 12oz of lead to the firewall to get it to balance at 5" back from the LE,recomended is 4"-43/4".It seems to fly good at that point,but I can't believe I had to add weight to the front.I would like to know how others have turned out.
