I definitely concur w/ Majortom. I've got a Saito 91 on mine and it balanced perfectly w/ the battery right behind the tank. I've got my cg at 175mm behind the LE.

Check out the other threads on the plane and beef it up in the narrow part of the fuse, and in the landing gear plate. I had an engine flameout on mine a couple weeks ago while about 15' up and slow on the upwind end of the runway.... Had no choice but to turn and land downwind in rough grass. When the gear caught in the rough grass it ripped the landing gear plate out, punching a hole in each wing. The plane then rotated forward, slammed the engine into the ground, broke the motor mount which allowed the engine to break the cowl, and also broke the fuse at the narrowest portion in the cockpit area. Not a good day. It is very repairable and I've got it about 1/2 way back to flying. If I were you I'd glass the inner area around the gear plate and also glass the entire area in the cockpit/radio tray area. I know it comes glassed in this area from the factory, but some more would definitely help alleviate breakage on a rough landing.

I also replaced all of the hardware w/ adjustable horns, swivel ball links, Dubro pull-pull, Sullivan tailwheel, and Tru-Turn spinner.

There is a GREAT online build blog on a UK site with a ton of hints. If you can't find it, PM me and I'll get it for you. It's bookmarked on my home computer and I'm out of town until the weekend.

Enjoy it!!
