Pete,
Thanks for the response. I just responded to Bud=92s note will all the par
ticulars.
Don=92t know if you=92ve got the classic or the XS. I know the engine on t
he XS is further forward than on my classic so I would expect the XS to be
more nose heavy.

hi Bill,
Thats a switch, i kept hearing the need to weight in the tail, with airmast
er 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 ext
end 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
' 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=92m planning on adding weight on top of the Rotax gear b
ox as there are available bolt holes and room for the weight (5x5 steel bar
).
Thanks,
Bill
