Question for you. How did your weight and balance work out? I asked Van's about installing an engine similar in weight to the IO-360 and they told me that the IO-360 was too heavy of an engine for the -6 and that it wasn't designed for that weight. Any problems with W&B on your -6?

I was told that RV6's generally had a tendency to be tail heavy so a little extra weight in the nose did not hurt. That was my case. My empty weight was 1039 lbs and even with low fuel and two people, I can still carry 60 lbs of baggage in the back. I don't think I am an exception.

A very good set of lights, however pricey! What procedure has been used to aim the lights to get the light pattern needed for landing and runway lighting? I propose to use one light pointed for landing and the other for runway lighting, ( good idea or not?) Is there a simple way of calibrating lights while on the ground, like auto headlamps where you shine lights at a wall and measure up so far for correct lighting? I have also connected an alternating flasher system for increased recognition. Any help will be appreciated, as I know anyone with lights has to have done this Doyal R. Plute N246DP
