I guess the other reason is that the local authorities
where you have your plane registered require it! :-)

Hi RV8er,

Yeah, that's my problem. Stock gear, Angle valve IO 360 plus heavy Hartzell,
lightweight pc680 battery in the back plus me at only 190 pounds in my
heaviest winter garb is going to make for a nose heavy airplane when flown solo
and
I'm afraid that when low on fuel might even be out of the forward CG range. I
am even thinking of adding an inverted oil system to compound matters.
Any other ideas for moving CG to the back short of dead weight?

I don't know the answer to question #1, but as far as the King ELT.....I
mounted mine on the top shelf of the rear baggage, and mounted the antenna
under the empennage fairing. It will be simple to remove it to change
batteries and/or remove the baggage compartment components for inspection of
the elevator belcrank.

I noticed that only the master solenoid was to be installed with the battery
in the aft location per the drawing yet I think I've always seen pictures on
the 'net where folks put both master and starter solenoids back there.

Can anyone recommend a source for a two port (two transducer) manifold?
Van's sells a three port unit, but I only need two ports. I could cut off
one port on the Van's unit, but would rather not do that.
Thanks Roger Crandell
