When Van put the battery on the firewall it added extra margin w/regards weight aft of CG. I have built a RV-6A, RV-8, & RV-7A and all have the ELT in the tail below the horizontal stab., and the strobe power supply just aft of the rear baggage area bulkhead. The CG's on all turned out as Van predicted. The six has a O-360 180.hp and metal prop, the eight has a IO-360 w/CS prop, and the seven has a IO-360 w/CS prop. The eight and seven even have the Alt hold auto pilot servo in the area behind aft bag BH too. I put the ELT in the tail because that is the portion of the plane most likely to survive in a incident etc. Note that 100# of baggage is A-LOT! Pick your largest suitcase and fill it to max then weigh it.....you'll be surprised. You can not get that size s/c in the bag area anyway. A couple carry/on sizes is about it.
Good luck.....& build on!

Hey Larry,
Do you have any pictures you can share with your ELT mount in the tail of
your 7? And antenna placement? I have the AK-450 ELT to go in my 9A with
slider, and am still mulling over its placement.
Thanks!
Mike
