Flyoff Weight approx = 1024 lbs. I don't consider this a problem as I was concerned a lighter build would not be as stable in modest winds. Robert had mentioned the 300 lb useful load spec was minimal.
This is roughly 250 lbs heavier that the A/A spec sheet. Pwr/Wt = 10 lbs/HP Wing loading = 7.2 lbs/sqft
So as expected things appear a little nose heavy. The majority of the fabric and paint is behind the C.G. limit so I will need to wait a bit to calculate the exact ballast necessary in the tail.
