Experience with the Lockwood Rotax 916 Package

I did the 25 hours in the last 15 days and I'm loving it. It has met all my expectations so far. Nothing has been overstated.

Sorry, I put this in a new thread and forgot to reply
How much longer did they need to make the nose of the plane to offset CG. Impossible to tell from pics, but looks like 18" or so to my eye
 
They moved the engine forward 14". This does not match the previous C of G, it places it in a new further forward location. As an example I can carry myself, 200lbs, my 185lb buddy, 100 lbs of luggage in the back and full fuel and I am in the center of the envelope. I am at an empty C of G of 76.4
