Very interesting, Mel! With my Franklin and the MT prop I have 66 pounds on
the nose gear and with the 204lb pilot (we DO have something in common <g>)
and 44 lb of ballast in the copilot foot room the cg. falls just at the aft
limit of the first flight box. Guess that battery of yours makes a lot of
difference.

Thanks for the numbers. It's alwasy good to have something to check against.
