Yes, the prop is very light (FP), which is what worries me.
I got a metric ton of documentation from the seller/builder. I need to sort through this and find the detailed w&b part, I know it is there, I saw it during the purchase process.

Let us know if we can be of any help along the way. Three years and the family always looks forward to going somewhere. It is a super family hauler for the price. If you head East someday, let us know beforehand.

I have a Flightline A/C and by moving the battery (batteries in my case) to the firewall, my CG is at the forward end of the envelope when empty and this allows me to reach gross weight without going aft CG. I would weigh the plane and do your own weight and balance before assuming that it is to heavy in the tail.

Wayne, my dream is to take the plane to OSH (of course) and to LZU (Briscoe Field where I learned to fly). I am sure I will fly there one day, hopefully this year!
The main battery is in the back. The backup one is on the firewall.
Based on the input from this thread, I should do my own W&B and then compare it to the original one. It will alleviate my (probably unfounded) fears. Any suggestions where I could do that, preferably somewhere in the left part of the country?

I almost started my training at LZU in 1998 before moving back North in 2000. Alot of RV drivers in the Atlanta area. I found an FBO with scales 20 min away. Ask around or post a new thread such as "W&B in Bay Area?"

You could join the Sacramento RV bunch, http://sacrvators.com/ I happen to know the guy who is the keeper of the scales  The website is out of date, but the membership part is good.

Weighing done (thanks Mike!), now back to 5th grade math and figure out what to do with the beast.
Thanks all for the input!

Miro,
How are you enjoying the -10? I still show off my pictures from our ferry flight.
