Plans built S1S,
I just about done behind the firewall.
I’m a long way from putting it on scales but thinking about CG.
Everything firewall back is pretty per plans, exception: elect fuel pump, regulator in place of wobble pump.
Earth X battery in standard location.
No canopy.
Gen 1 Sparcraft wings.
FWF- IO 360
Thinking lightweight starter
8 amp accessory mounted alternator.
Christian inv sys.
I’d rather not be faced with a big CG discrepancy on completion, trying to stay as light as possible. If I’m going to add ballast I’d rather it be something useful vs lead.
Id appreciate any thoughts or educated guesses
on where things are going to end up,
also Prop options etc..
Grateful for all the previous feedback on my newb questions.
Thanks, happy new year!
Doug
