What's the link to the weight and balance collection?

I have been to a site that had a compilation of many weight and balance postings. Now that I need it, I cannot find it.

I am trying to determine the value of placing my Creativ strobe power supply up forward in the baggage floor of an RV7 O360 w/Catto.

I suspect I might be light on the nose.

Thanks
Dave

I think you are referring to Dan Checkoway's website. The W&B is in the link below.

Based on my numbers for my -7 anyone building without a constant speed prop would be well served moving stuff as forward as practical. With my 0-360 FP (sensenich) I could go aft of the aft CG with two up, full baggage (100lbs) and min fuel. I just installed a landoll harmonic balancer which puts about 12 lbs on the nose and it make a world of difference to the W&B numbers, keeps everything in the CG range.
