I performed the Weight and Balance on N815DG. I leveled the airplane for and aft along with left to right. Airplane weight in about 150 lbs more than Vans demonstrator and I expected this since I have a fully equipped aircraft. Empty weight is 1802lbs. I also did the weight and balance with the bottom pod attached and it is 1857lbs. Overall the W&B looks good with the exception with me flying single I will need a pretty heafty balast in the back to keep the CG correct.
