First just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very happy (get to fly lots of hours in an RV!) New Year. Now here is my question with a little background info. Our -8 will have a Grove landing gear, a glass cockpit and an IO-360 with a Hartzell Blended Airfoil prop. The rest of the Aircraft will be built basically as per plans. We will save maybe 15 lbs. with the gear and glass cockpit, but will gain 30 lbs. or so with the engine/prop combo, so with these parameters (rough I know) can we put the battery (Oddysee brand) and associated hardware on the firewall and not run into foward CG problems?
