 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.

That is one of the most ignorant and irresponsible statements
