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. In a message dated 5/26/2010 10:40:07 A.M.

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.
