Because there was a built in shelf for me to stick it on, and it would'nt be outside of the airplane; plus room for my fat fingers to get it in there. Plus it will be easy to get to if Ineed to add or take some out later down the road.

It was just 3/4 ounce when balancing upside down at the tailwheel with a wood prop. However when I switched to an 16x8 APC prop, it was still a little nose heavy. The half ounce extra 12 inches forward made it neutral, then the 3/4ounce at the same spot made slightly tail heavy. I guess with fuel in it, it will be slightly nose heavy. Ijust tried to strike a balance point starting with a wood prop and then if Idecide to go APCit would not have that much effect. So upside down and right side up balance is at 6 1/2 inches forward of LE at the fuse.

And I can tell you the person that bought it (me) is really happy with it. And a small part of me is wishing I could bail on the Mothers Day activities to spend the day flying it!
