Just for fun, I used a fish scale to weigh my plane. With battery installed and ready to fly, it weighs very close to 7.5 pounds, which is approximately 3,402 grams.
I'm using a Suppo 4120 motor and Turnigy HD 6S, 3000 mAh battery. The battery is placed full forward, against the firewall. The Hobbywing 80 amp ESC is secured to the motor mount / firewall bolts. I used Corona DS-329MG servos for all control surfaces.
I did not need to add any mass to the plane to achieve the recommended CoG. My plane flys very good and does not exhibit any strange tendencies. It will perform any maneuver I dare to attempt and slows nicely for landing.
I'll do my best to make a video next time I visit the flying field.
