Anyone know how far aft the prop is from the 0 datum? Vans lists the wing leading edge as 70" but my wings aren't on yet so I can't go measure. Hoping for the numbers for a 360 on the standard mount.
Were debating between the MT MTV-9 and the Whirlwind 300 series prop. There's 20 lbs difference between the two and I wanted to get an idea of cg effect. We're also running the sam james long cowl so I'll have a 2.5" prop extension on there for even greater moment arm. I know we're gonna be heavy to start with, and knocking 20lbs off is huge if we don't push the cg too far aft.
