I will be doing my weight and balance in about two weeks and will report my results. To offset the weight issue, I am using a three bladed prop and a 2.25 nch prop extension that is significantly heavier than the AeroVee propellers commonly used. I also have a muffler. My cowling will also be heavier because it also has to be extended and tapered to fit the extension and the prop spinner. The cowling will also have ducting for the radiator and oil cooler. I also have a cabin heat system ducting hot air from the muffler shroud that adds some weight. If I need further weight up front I will add the Sonex smoke system.
