Odysey vs Concord
I've been debating on which battery to install in my RV-8 and wanted to know some other thoughts. All during the building process I assumed I would use the Odyssey battery because of its light weight and cranking power. I'm running my spaghetti wires now and am well into Bob Nuckles Z-11 plan with the endurance bus theory. I see the concorde has more amp/hours and I know it has proven itself for many years. Here is my setup XP-IO360, inverted oil, w/ either MT aluminum prop or Hartzell blended airfoil, forward mounted battery and smoke system in the front baggage compartment. Can anyone provide me with some battery recommendations. I do plan on some inverted flight. I know will be getting heavy in the front that's why I'm considering the extra bucks for the MT light wt aluminum prop. I was a Whirlwind fan tell I started reading about some of the proplems.
