OC is right. Its best to have a bit of baggage in the back when solo.
I can see from my own calculations that with just me on board ( 150Lbs ) if
I run it completely out of fuel , I could be getting close to the most
forward Cof G, without anything in the back . - luckily for me i always have
a load of junk ( aircraft tie down kit , spare headset, aircraft log books ,
airfield manuals....) in the back.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for the reply! My battery is located behind the passenger seat and
still was told to fly with 30 lbs in the area when flying solo.
