I have a 601HDS with just the wing tanks and have been rather happy with th
e setup.
I'm flying behind a Jabiru 3300A with my battery on the firewall. I'm not s
ure about the weight differences with a corvair, but for me I didn't have a
ny W&B issues in my setup using just the front of spar ~11 gallon wing tank
s.

Hi Ralph,
With my Stratus Subaru, I have a 9.8 gallon header with 7.1 gallon wing
tanks and my radiator is 34 inches aft of the firewall on the belly. Within
all variations I cannot get it out of CG unless it were loaded beyond 1300
lbs., my max utility wt.
Would think the Corvair would be close if not a bit forward on the CG.
I've a program you can have that you can modify numbers to run the
variations for your plane if you want it. It runs on EXCEL and is nicely
done and easy to use.
