I understand vans make a lightweight tailwheel which would achieve the same thing cofg wise as adding weight at the front, but with a (small) weight advantage rather than a penalty. Not sure if there are other significant variations between the various tail end components but this one may be helpful.
Along the same lines as the lighter wheel, I was told recently there is a titanium stinger available (not sure who from, what $ or what weight is saved), but this would also help move the cofg forward. Also there must be some weight variation with the various forks and steering links.
OK guys,Thanks for all the help.I went back, looked at some numbers I think Im gonna buy a metal prop for my rv6.....If anyone has a 6 with 150hp o-320 let me know what prop you have an performance..Im not the lightest person an our airport is only 2500 feet so climb out is just as important as cruize to me..
