I'm New Here
Just ordered my rv3 kit. Will mostly be using it for cross country trips. The jabiru is 120hp but is much lighter than the other suggested engines. Will I have to worry about my cg?

...Will I have to worry about my cg?
I'd be inclined to have a good read up on the issues surrounding Jabi engines, which I wasn't too familiar with prior to attending a recent RA-AUS fly in at Monto (QLD); there wasn't too many complimentary discussions regarding what I thought was a widely accepted engine.
Having to build on tight budget. Can get a new jabiru with fwf for $24000
Thank for all the great advice. It gives me a lot to think about. As for the tight budget I only have about $35,000 set aside for engine and avionics and the misc. costs of the project.
I have a RV3b with a Corvair engine in it....
Right now I am flying off my 40 hours....
