The CG will have a lot to do with which prop and which engine you use
and your particular build. My bird, with 912S (lighter engine) and
Airmaster (much heavier than warpdrive), ballances right about 60" with
the 680 battery on top the right footwell. My build is probably a bit
different than most, as I, not being one to trust "miracal" adhesives,
added a few layers of BID to the fuse joint, all around. This, of
course would add some weight to the rear of the plane. It's hard to go
out of CG, with two occupants and enough baggage to get to gross weight.
Even with less fuel, it seems to stay in CG.
