The reason no ballast is needed on mine solo or two up front is the above items which probably weigh 25-28 lbs, plus I always have oil, tools, covers, tiedown kit, first aide kit and survival kit in baggage area(another 25 lbs). If I did not have these very useful items then one would definitely have to put 50 lbs of something in the baggage area.
I really like the way it flies fully loaded better than solo...stable, responsive, and very little trim adjustments between takeoff, cruise, landing or go arounds.

Is this the battery mount kit that Van sells for the PC680 ?

Batt Box
Wesael,
Honestly I can't remember. I think it came from Odyssey directly , but I don't think they offer it any more. It is made from 3/32. I don't know what Van's offers exactly, maybe someone has a pic of a vans tray.
Good luck.

Thanks for your help. I could not find specific information on it so I just ordered the one that van offers for the 680.
I hope it is the same....I like that set-up

I took three photos of our firewall battery installation today. I've tried inserting photos before and it a pain for me. If someone would like to give me their e-mail , I can send them and you can post them for me.

Start at post 30.
You do not insert a photo, you have the photo hosted on a website that specializes in such things, and then you insert a link to the photo.
Good luck.
