    --> Commander-List message posted by: "John Vormbaum" <john@vormbaum.com> Hi Tom, I'm pretty hot to get one of the new Whelen LED beacons; they're a bit pricey (about $600 US I think) but they'll last the lifetime of the airplane, and their visibility and flash pattern is awesome.... As far as a W&B, I can't help you with that one. I'm just a lowly B-model pilot ;-).

    --> Commander-List message posted by: "Tom Fisher" <tfisher@commandergroup.bc.ca> Are there different parameters in the Fwd & Aft limits on the Mr.RPM conversion or did they remain the same as factory?

    --> Commander-List message posted by: BillLeff1@aol.com Limits are the same. However the Mr RPM airplanes typically have a CG that is further forward because the engines sit further forward. The factory autorizes weight on the tail cone bulkhead and installed it on many aircraft right at the factory. Attached is a typical factory installation. File 291 is a 690B and file 297 is a 500A with a shrike nose. Bill Leff
