Just a thought, if you're still looking to reduce a few ounces here and there. Wing saddles can be modified, and the wing could be moved back. Half of an inch is a HUGE shift in CG weight.

That being said, as so many of the other guys have pointed out, it's going to fly just fine if you do nothing at all..

Also, I have not read this thread thoroughly post-by-post but I didn't see anything about verifying the CG location under the wing. I'm sure you did, but I thought I'd mention it in case.

Looking forward to seeing how it flies.
