Hi,

My ES is forward of the allowed CG envelope when
empty. The good news is that anything (Pax, pilot,
fuel, baggage) brings the CG aft. The forward CG is in
spite of my three bladed MT prop (20 lbs lighter than
it's Hartzell cousin), battery aft of the baggage
compartment and oxy cylinder in the baggage
compartment. I published all my numbers on this forum
once before, should be easy to find.

My temps run cool, too cool on both the CHT and oil
temp. With OATs of less than 10C I need to close the
oil door to get the oil temp well into the green, the
colder it is the more I have to close the oil door.
The CHTs struggle to get above 300F. All this with a
standard ES cowl.
