Where did your CG end up at and how did it fly at your CG.
My friend has one and it balances at 4 1/2" back of the leading edge with 3 ozs. in the nose. That is a good inch futher than recommended in the plans and he is afraid to fly it. Your help would be appreciated

Greetings, Neirnyck!
My magic extra balances @ 4-3/4" and I've had it back as far as 6" just to see if it would tumble. It won't. (not for me anyhow
The only difference I saw with this tail heavy condition was that it tended to float past the runway when attempting to land at a normal speed.
This plane has so much tail you have to force it into a spin. Although I don't reccomend that anybody fly with the 6" c.g. , 4"-5" has served me well. Can fly out of a flat spin in any attitude. But no waterfalls!!
