The national Masters Champ should know - thanks for posting Glen

So - I am happy now. I placed the battery as far in as I could reach into the TD and still undo the Velcro. Now I am at 160mm - which is right on the front of the wing tube. 190mm is the rear of the tube. 205mm is way back there... I think maybe it is a misprint??? If I do need to move weight back I can use the light back plate or a CF spinner, plus move the header tank... so I do have some easy ways to adjust the CG now.

Anyway - I have yet to weigh the plane and will run the motor this evening for the first time. The plane feels light but I may be a little on the heavy side give how nose heavy I am... next time around I will not be so heavy handed with the firewall.

Now if the snow would finish melting I could get out and start trimming.
