Ron,

Thanks for the information thus far. I intentionally installed everything as far forward as I could in anticipation that CG would be an issue. If I had to guess this plane weighs about 8 lbs dry. This would put me around a bit heavier weight after fuel of course. I still think it is lighter than what I had in it before. It originally had an RK-740 and K&B 7.5 with 16 oz of fuel. Full of fuel it seemed like a pig on the ground. It never flew as I did not get the fan to produce enough thrust to fly.
