I know this engine is heavier than a lot of other solutions so I am concerned about the forward C/G and have no idea how to figure that BEFORE the airplane is complete. Any help or advice is certainly appreciated. Thanks, Steve Freeman ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:05:14 AM PST US From: "Steve Freeman" Subject: RE: Zenith-List: Battery location Hi Joe, If I am not mistaken this puts your battery 4" in front of the Front HT Frame. I have never seen a battery this far back. Did you also install an access door so you can get to the batter for service? Can you describe how you get your cables to the front and where are you grounding the negative terminal? Also - what kind of battery do you have and how much does it weigh?
