(I need to) Only thing I can say is that slow flight with full flaps isn't the most comfortable, but now that I am aware of how it handles, doesn't bother me a bit. My CG is way to far forward I think, so that probably makes the slow flight a little different. > > On a side note.. I turned around and looked at the tail the other day while indicating 200KTS. I could see the elevator counter weight, or almost all of it. I didn't expect to see that at 200. Maybe 100.. haha This leads me to believe that I have a forward center of gravity. The big engine would explain that. Once I get the plane on some scales, the only thing I can think of is to move the battery. My battery is behind the passenger seat. > > Has anyone mounted a battery behind the baggage compartment?
