I'll give Van's a call later in the week, but thought I would check with the brain power here first.
I have a Superior IO-360 parallel valve that came off of a Lancair Legacy along with the prop. The prop is a hartzell HC-F2YR-1F, which has an extended hub.
I was looking at replacing the prop, but have been convinced to keep it and just modify the cowl. I have a good fibreglass guy to do it.
In relation to the extnded hub. I believe it is roughly 4.5 inches in extension compared to the compact hub.
I'm concerned that there may be a CofG issue as a result of the extended hub.
Does anyone have a similiar setup in an RV-8? My battery is mounted in the back as well.
Any input would be great.
Thanks
Don
