Bhomer,

Looks good, hard to tell from the pic but seems to be just a touch nose heavy and that is GOOD, it's what you want. If its not I would suggest making it so. It's better to have a slightly nose heay plane on the initial trim flights. Once the plane is trimmed you can start moving the CG back a little at a time to make the plane more responsive. A tail heavy untrimmed plane can either be a hanfull to completely uncontrolable. I would hate to see you loose the plane.

Best of luck with her!
