I have a question to other RV-7 builders and what their CG ended up being.
On my project (taildragger) I will be putting on an IO360 M1B and kinda want either the 2 blade or 3 blade catto prop. I will be painting the plane just 1 solid color and only installing the MGL extreme mini EFIS/EM and probably a Nexus tablet for GPS on the instrument panel (I'm keeping it super simple and CHEAP!). Do you think I will have a CG issue once I am finished with everything (being tail heavy)? What would you recommend me changing? Should I put on a metal FP Sensenich instead of the catto? Use catto and add a super heavy crush plate? Would putting the lightweight tailwheel on solve much for the extra $105 (only is 1lb lighter)?
I would like some advice on what I should do so I don't have big problems once I bring out the scales- I see myself wanting to use the baggage compartment on long flights. Thanks for the help
p.s. I already have the finish kit so changing to the 320 mount to get weight forward is not an option.
