I've put in my new shiney Kong Power 2200 packs... Mounted on the front... no mods or anything, as they fit 100%.

If I lift the heli by the head... with my fingers on the center left and right side of the head button - is that a valid test to check the COG?

When I do this, the heli leans ... less than 2 or 3 degrees, to the front.. But it's really minimal.... That would be fine, eh?

I adjust my packs so that when I lift by the fly bar it remains mostly level

If you can, just move the kongs back about 1/2" to see if you can level it out.
Perfect center of gravity is important if you want it to fly it's best.
You can fly it nose or tail heavy, but you will really notice it being off..especially during rolls unless you can adjust the cyclic to smooth it out during the maneuvers.
