Worst case forward CG is no fuel and single pilot.  What propeller are
you using?  Where are you locating your hydraulic pump?

Subject: [LML] Legacy RG Battery Position with IO550

I'd really like to place my 24v battery up front on the firewall instead
of behind the pilot's seat.  I'd even consider adding some ballast in
the tail if necessary for CG design.  I'm assuming the worst case
forward CG is full fuel and single pilot.  
 
Has any one successfully mounted a 24v battery on the firewall in a
Legacy RG with an IO550?
