My Extra balances out at the most 1/16” behind the recommended location. Moving stuff around a little to make up for the heavier muffler worked out. Plane weighed in at exactly 7 1/2 lbs with a 16X5 zinger wood prop hanging on the crankshaft. I won't use that for flight. It was just handy for balance and weigh in. So, what weight reduction I did kept things from getting out of hand with the heavier muffler and spinner that I will use.

I think Rich’s plane was 7lbs 8oz with a heavy 16X4 wide APC prop and 7lbs 6oz with a Zinger 15X4 wood prop.

I also managed to knock out the T-nut inside the front half of the left wing. So…..now I have to cut into the bottom of the wing to get to the nut and get it back into the root rib. [:@]
