Considering an IO-360A1B6 and Hartzell BA Propeller. Does anyone with this combination have feedback on CG? Could go composite and shave some weight (while adding $$) of the front if it's an issue.
 
I suggest you get a W&B from someone with the same engine and gear (Grove gear makes a big difference) and who used real scales. From that you can use a sharp pencil to see how the W&B changes with options like which prop, where to mount the battery(s) and such.

I did that for my IO-360-M1B and Hartzell BA prop. This lead to mounting one PC-625 battery in the forward baggage well, the second PPC-625 battery in the normal aft location and the oxygen bottle in the forward baggage compartment. The W&B came out as calculated.
