Can anybody help me out ? The O200 is said to be one of the heavier engine choices. I'm waiting to select the battery location until I've hung the engine, and done a preliminary weight and balance. I'd like to place it forward of the firewall, because longer cables add to weight, and there will be some voltage drop due to the longer cable. However, if the aircraft comes out too nose heavy, there may be no choice. -- ============================================ Do not archive. ============================================ Jim B Belcher BS, MS Physics, Math, Computer Science A&P/IA Retired aerospace technical manager Mathematics and alcohol do not mix.

Actually, I have two batteries there, the usual RG680 and a 8AH SLA as emergency backup for my electrically dependent engine. On final approach with flaps down, I must hold back stick to maintain glide slope. This is not a problem, but would be much worse if the batteries were forward.
