From: stephan cassel Hi all, Europa FlyIn Wyk is round the corner. The preliminary program and some useful information can be found under the link section. http://europa-nordic.scassel.se/FlyIn2015 We have also found out that this is the 10th anniversary of the Europa Nordic FlyIn. Most welcome all of you Best regards Claus and Stephan ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:53:27 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Balance weights From: "jonathanmilbank" When my Classic beauty was still a mono/tail/wheel, I did move the battery from engine bay to rear fuselage immediately behind the flap cross-tube. This was due to a misunderstanding about the datum point and a year or so later I moved the battery forward again. As has already been stated, moving the C of G aft makes a very noticeable difference to ground handling in a mono-wheel especially during the landing roll-out. It felt decidedly more inclined to ground-loop and I was relieved to discover my fundamental blunder in calculations, which allowed me to move the battery forward again, a year later. I believe that you should arrange things to have the C of G at the forward limit with two heavies in the seats, nothing in the baggage bay and almost no fuel. It really does improve the feeling of security, based on about 800 hours as a mono with battery forward and about 50 hours with battery aft.
