AC,

XUX had (has?) the same problem when it arrived as the first A+. Heavy engine cover, all the extra avionics in the tail, Urst didn't like the club seats, either. Both forward float bays were eventually filled with as much lead ballast as we could fit, to get the CoG within limits. About 140kg, IIRC, but I don't know if it's still there
