BOB here - the optimal CG seems to be 7.25 with minimal pitching, but
great snap and spin damping.  Further aft could lose some lock on the
lines.  I started at 7", definitely too nose-heavy.  Wing loading won't
be an issue at all.

Nat: our calculating equip seems to agree. Last night I did the
measurements and came out with the same loading, 22.4oz/sq ft.
Should fly just fine at that loading! I also checked the CG. I am about 7
1/2 inches back from the wing LE. The instructions suggest 7". Do you
remember where your CG is? Have you made any changes in it since flying?

Terry, you'll be about 22.4 or so.... at 9.25, mine is 24.1  (all info on
my website).  It's 6.1 sq ft area.

Bob: I have not calculated the wing loading yet. Will take some
measurements tonight and do that! Thanks for the info.

DIdn't see other replies, Terry, but I think you're right on....mine,
with the ST2300 is 9.2, so you're in good shape.  Fortunately, it has
LOTS of wing....

I have just finished my Excelleron. I have a YS 91 in the nose and used
all the hardware and construction proceedures recommended in the
instruction manual. Final all up weight, less fuel, is 8# 5oz. How does
that compare to what you guys have been finding?
