I had my battery up front in my mk III for a while then moved it back...
it just seemed to fly better with the cg back.... especially with a
passenger.

Well John, that does make sense. I live just about 50 airmiles South of your
unintended
landing at the falls. I think I will install them as they are. I fly
off a 2000' grass strip and PLAN on any off field landings. Has anyone moved
the
battery to the nose section of the plane? I know that is a long way to run
the positive cable but It sure would help with the CG.
Thanks
Bob

If John H has a huge tail wheel, 26 gallon of fuel, and a 912S with a three blade 72" warp drive prop all behind his C/G, and his scrawny little butt in front of the C/G and doesn't need his battery in the nose to balance his Mark3, why does any Mark3 need nose ballast?

I started my Ultrastar out with 3 wieghts in the nose to get it balanced. I
took out 1, it flew great. Took out 2, it flew great. Took out 3, it flew
great. Never gave it another thought.
