Here are some pics of mine now that it's complete and ready to maiden.

What's the concensus on the CofG? With the battery in the standard location my CofG is a finger's width behind the suggested mark. It takes 4oz of lead just behind the firewall to ballance.

I could move the battery forward so i don't have to use the lead, but i'm reluctant to do so if the recommended setting is conservative and i'm only going to have to move it back.

I'm thinking i'll stick the 4Oz of lead in the nose and remove 1/2Oz at a time until i'm satisfied. Then i'll experiment with battery locations to find one which gives me the same CofG without needing lead.

Update: It flies great with the battery in the stock location and no additional lead in the nose. My motor/muffler weighs in at 25.4oz (720gm).
