Well, after all of everything got installed and buttoned up, I was able to bring mine down to exactly 20lbs. It was a bit more, but I put in the on-board glow, and moved things forward some more, and then I took out 9.5 oz of the lead brick that I had put up front for the original balance.
If 5.5" is the perfect balance, then I'm DONE! Just waiting for the time to get out there now.
Do you know how hard it is to actually have to watch 70-degree days pass by, one after the other, when you have a bird to test fly???
Killin me!
