      Hi all,
      I brought a 701 with a EA81 engine 6 months ago. I've done about 100 hours in it
      so far but I'm still struggling with the weight and balance. When I brought
      it, it was forward CG, to the point of being dangerous, when I cut the throttle,
      just myself onboard, it would drop like a stone (think helicopter autorotation..)
      I thought.. some weight in the tail... 5kg's... and suddenly it had a glide
      ratio. I now have 8kg's in the tail (I know it's alot) and it handles well.
      Too much more weight in the tail and it gets a bit wobbly, not aft CG, but
      too much weight on a long arm. What I'm trying to achieve is being able to hold
      my nose off on touchdown, with power off, which is what I can do with other
      well balanced aircraft. Whilst I understand that if I put a rotax in I would probably
      solve the weight and balance problem, I don't really want to spend the
      $$$ involved in that. The EA81 goes well, apart from the weight problem. I have
      a warp drive prop. Any
       comments and suggestions w!
      ould be useful.. 
      
      Cheers
      Ross
