I think the problem is in your calculation of the empty moment arm.
(80.49 inches) x (727 pounds) x = 58516 inch-pounds
You stated your empty moment as 85217 inch-pounds.
With the empty plane, yourself, 58 lb of ballast, and 15 gallons, you're at 1050 GW and 82.68 inches. Right where you wanna be.

Mighty fine looking plane! I am afraid I could not wait until August to fly it though.

Wow! That paint job is amazing! Better carry around a Valium to take when it gets the first scratch! :-)
