I fly my RV8 solo 99% of the time. It has an IO-360-A1A in the nose which makes it nose heavy. The obvious (and easy) way to move the CG aft is to strap a bunch of weight into the back seat. However, I would rather add 10 pounds further back instead of 100 pounds in the back seat. Has anyone devised a simple solution to easily add/remove a small weight way back on the fuselage? I was thinking of something like a small tube running through the fuselage just in front of the horizontal stabilizer (kind of like the handle on the RV15 in a similar location) with removable end caps (recessed) and into which a small lead weight could be inserted as/when needed. Have any clever people out there built anything like this? Are there any other simple solutions?
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
