Your plane came out light for a Super2S RG. In order to do a weight and
balance you have to measure the distance from the fire wall forward 58
inches (sta 0.0) and back from that point to the nose wheel center line
(X).
Then measure from the mains center line to sta 0.0 (Y) Once you have thos
e
numbers you can do a weight and balance. I have a 200 hp, constant speed
prop
and an IFR panel in my 2S and my nose wheel weight is 273 lbs and the
mains were 1,026 lbs. I have a baggage limit of 130 pounds. S.H. had a ta
il
heavy problem with the 2S when small engines with wood props were used an
d
solved it with the Super 2S. The Super 2S has a longer distance from the
MAC
to the fire wall and a larger stab. That heavier main may give you a turn
and I solved that by adding a few pounds of lead shot and resin to one wi
ng
end. To avoid bouncing the nose wheel hard, on your first test flight I
would perform a power on landing. I come over the fence at 90 mph and lev
el
off over the runway to let the speed dissipate then slowly come in with
power
to gently let my plane down. I just installed a blended foil prop and in
very hot humid weather I added ten miles per hour to my already 200mph+
cruise speed.

Randy, I have the pilot's operating handbook for the Super IIS and just got
the handbook for my IIS- FT from Glasair for $45 plus shipping. Would send
you the Super IIS handbook for $35 plus shipping if you are interested. It
's a very well done handbook so would be nice to have.
Jack, almost ready for inspection in Camp Verde, AZ
