So, how are folks with lightweight props on the nose of their Pitts making the CG work?
With my 'chute on I weigh 215#. With a Catto on the nose, me in the seat and any amount of fuel I am out of the aft CG.
My battery is behind the seat, but it only weighs 5# (it's an earth-X ETX680) so moving it forward won't gain me much advantage.
My firewall seems to be out of the question as a location anyway based on clearance from the accessories and general lack of space.
I'm gonna stick with the Sensenich this year because I'm staying in Sporty, but eventually I'd like to move up and start snap rolls, etc. with my light weight crank.
Happy for any words of advice.
