I'm just starting on the emp. but I see a possible weight and balance issue down the road already. Thinking of an injected O-320 with a wood fp prop on my RV9 conventional gear configuration, taildragger if you like. I'm worried I could wind up at the aft cg limit with any baggage and figure now is the time to start heading that off.
So can I leave off the fairings on the tail? If so will Vans credit me? Any other tactics for keeping the tail real light (maybe a titanium tailwheel , or is there some other item that could be moved forward? Lights can go in the wings only I think. How about landing/taxi lights in engine cowling?
I am philosophically opposed to ballast and willing to pay in sweat or dollars to avoid same.
