Ed, you probably realize there are several ways to go with LPP weight distribution, and it's interesting to peruse weight charts of other builders to see how they think weight budgets should be spent. TOT ended up that way because I had no definite weight targets besides TLAR. So I ended up needing .13g ballast, which is probably too much, which could have been used elsewhere. OTOH, underweightedness is a handy margin to have for field repairs, which are often hurried and therefore unneccessarily heavy.
Since this is your first LPP, don't worry too much about matching weights exactly, but as you said, "in the ballpark."
And don't worry much about published times, except to try to increase 2 min flight to 3 minutes, a 3 min flight to 4 min, etc. If you get stuck in building, you can ask here. Or, a local indoor flyer, if you can find one, will usually be glad to personally help.
