Pat, There is no ballast in my plane. The CG fortunately worked out perfectly. I established a CR range of 8-16 inches aft of the leading edge of the inboard wing. The 14-16 inch area is an absolute no fly zone unless you are ready to ascend higher than the KR can take you. My CG (full fuel and pilot) worked out to be 10.2 inches aft of the leading edge. The CG only moves forward one inch when tanks are completely empty. I have 23.1 flight hours in this configuration and she is as stable as I could ever hope for.

Say, how much ballast did you use, where is it and how is it affixed to offset the weight of the engine.
