Dan,



I'm wondering how your W&B came out with the Eggenfellner

as I know you were saying it was lighter than the IO-540 and

I think you said your prop was substantially lighter too.  I

wondered how your wheel weights came out, and considering you

have dual batteries in the tail, did you find that the W&B is

still easy to keep in CG without going too far aft, or are

you going to have problems if you load lots of baggage?

I would think that it could be a substantial difference as even

a few pounds up at the engine/prop can make a big change, but

have been curious how it would turn out, as this is much more

drastic than just going from a Hartzell to an MT, for instance.

What were your individual axle weights?

With all the airplanes flying I think it would valuable to know how the CGs 

are coming out.



Perhaps those with completed airplanes could report their empty weight, CG 

location, and a note or two about dual batteries etc. that might contribute 

to CG locations that differ significantly from the prototype.



How about a data base on someone's web site?
