Hi Guys,
I am thinking of putting my Eagle on a diet. Carbon fiber is the plan of the day. I'm looking for other possibilities to lose weight. I'm worried about the light weight cowls and my Whirlwind prop shifting the CG even farther aft. Carbon fiber seats and floor should help. The battery is already on the firewall.
Looking at things in the back to lose and I see the wobble pump and the long fuel lines. the other concern is actually using that pump if I needed to.
I'd like to hear feedback about how many of you have switched to an electric pump.
Oh, and the obvious weight reduction in the back is me, I've already lost 20 pound!!!
Thanks,
Paul
