Hi Jeff I thought the -2S had the rear fuselage extended to reduce elevator sensitivity and had the firewall moved forward to compensate by altering the engine mount position. I can well understand then why you correctly needed to add weight up front in various ways without building the firewall extension. I wasn't aware that RR changed the CoG envelopes as well to reflect any changes to wing position.
I sincerely hope Sid has a successful flight but I don't understand his reluctance to get his conclusions verified by a professional given the stakes. To me it's a no brainer given the magnitude of the weights apparently needed.
