Kevin, I can only speak for my experience. My goal was to keep it as light as possible and as forward CG as possible thereby giving me the greatest payload as possible without leaving the envelope. To do so i have two b+c batterys(dual electrical systems) on the firewall(eliminates a lot of heavy wire), no floorboards. I have empty wt under 1500 and several inches forward of leading edge. With 2 people, Minimal fuel and flight bag, CG is on forward limit. Plane Flys very well, almost impossible to overload .only downside i can find is that i believe that I'm told if CG is further aft speed is greater.

Weight is everything.  Especially at our high altitude on hot summer days.  I recommend you weigh your options by giving considerable weight to your weight. :)

Subject: [LML] New Legacy Project

Hello,

I am starting a new Legacy Project in January with 2 weeks of builder assistance in Oregon.   I will be building it a KFNL in Colorado.  I am trying to decide which options to build into my project and have been exhaustively scouring the internet looking for ideas/suggestions.   I have learned a lot from searching through the archives of this list, Thank you!

One option I am considering is AC, and it looks like N33RH had a pretty interesting AC installation with a duct on the bottom of the aircraft.   I haven't been able to find out where it came from.   I believe the aircraft was built by Rich Henning, and I found a website with some information on it (http://www.lancairlegacy.com/RHGroup.html), but the contact info, email and phone number, are out of date.   I spoke with Lancair and they do not have any updated contact information for him either.  Does anyone have current contact information for Rich, possibly he is still subscribed to this list?

Thanks in advance!
