Pete,
Thanks for the response. I just responded to Bud=99s note will
all the particulars.
Don=99t know if you=99ve got the classic or the XS. I know
the engine on the XS is further forward than on my classic so I would
expect the XS to be more nose heavy.
Bill

hi Bill,
Thats a switch, i kept hearing the need to weight in the tail, with
airmaster props, batteries, and 914's up front. What engine are your
running?
Hoping for a light turbo 120hp 4-cyl d-motor in mine, i was prepared to
extend the engine forward as (if) required.
Cheers,
Pete

Hello everyone,
After 20+ years I am now close to finishing my monowheel classic.
Initial weight and balance shows the aircraft is tail heavy and needing
30 =93 40 pounds of weight added in the engine compartment to get
the CG where I want it. The current empty weight is 801 pounds.
I would like to ask what others have experienced, where they added
weights, etc. Currently I=99m planning on adding weight on top of
the Rotax gear box as there are available bolt holes and room for the
weight (5x5 steel bar).
Thanks,
Bill
