Hi Duncan,
I find it hard to imagine what on earth you had fitted up front to justify
14 lbs at the tail.?

I had 14 lbs of lead bolted to the old tailwheel mount at one point; the 1"
'railway' bolt that held it weighed >1lb alone.
The LAA didn't blink.

Phil, My inspector and the LAA were entirely happy to have a lead block
bolted on to the front of my sternpost - 3 lbs in my instance but they would
have accepted more. Have you worked out what the ideal position of your C of
G is? - that is one where you can accommodate any sensible combination of
crew/fuel/luggage without needing to do calculations?

About to get my mono wheel weighed and balanced. 2 questions - where is the
best place to fix the weights. I thought of fixing some flat sheets of lead
to the stern post but wondered if it's strong enough or may be each side of
the tail wheel spring.
While I appreciate that each build is different can anyone give me a range
of ballast weights I will expect to need. At this stage I don't know whether
to cater for 3lbs or 30lbs of ballast.
Thanks in advance.
