Rebel Firewall 3"

Good Day
I say good day but it's snowing and visibility is zero to none. I built kit
#460 with a 2.2 Soob engine, Ross PSRU and Warp Drive prop I moved the fire
wall back the recommended 3" mounted my battery as far back as possible in
the fuselage. My plane with full panel, complete two tone paint job, full
floor and spring gear weighs in at 994LB . And the CG empty is located at
14.7", full fuel solo is 14.6". At gross weight with the OLE lady full fuel
and 82LB of luggage at 43" my CG is at 16.2". Same as above with only 5 gal.
of fuel the CG is at 15.9. I only have 23 deg. up elevator. I don't think it
needs us much up elevator because the nose isn't as heavy.
