Marr" : Skip Well said!!! In my case it will only be the weight of the the wing installation, about 8oz's. I have reviewed all of the data Moondog has put out on IV's, P's, and PT's. The conclusion I have come to is that there may be a problem of aft CG, small tail area, stall warning and lack of understanding of weight and balance. To that end, I am moving the accumulator forward about 10 inches, the hyd. power pack forward about 24 inches, installing stall strips and possibly a ventral fin. My desire is to have the CG as far forward as possible with one on board. I also know I have a lighter then normal propeller and the 20B will weigh less then a TISO-550. As has been pointed out, the CG moves aft when you retract the gear. If I miss my estimate a little, a battery relocation or a little lead in the tail will easily correct it.
