I own  the 235/320 that Don Goetz built & flew for years. The battery is
mounted behind the baggage compartment on a shelf made like a box with open
side forward..It slides in then is held there with a  bracket with a hinge
on the bottom..Slide batt. in pivot bracket up & 2 screws on top. Kind of a
pain in the neck getting the batt. bolts & screws on top but not that bad
cause it only happens once in a while.

> Works great.  I have a 400!  I'm sure the rest of small tail group would
agree.  Might have to move your center of gravity back. (I need to)  Only
thing I can say is that slow flight with full flaps isn't the most
comfortable, but now that I am aware of how it handles, doesn't bother me a
bit.  My CG is way to far forward I think, so that probably makes the slow
flight a little different.

On a side note..   I turned around and looked at the tail the other day
while indicating 200KTS.  I could see the elevator counter weight, or
almost all of it.  I didn't expect to see that at 200.  Maybe 100..  haha 
This leads me to believe that I have a forward center of gravity.  The big
engine would explain that.  Once I get the plane on some scales, the only
thing I can think of is to move the battery.  My battery is behind the
passenger seat.

Has anyone mounted a battery behind the baggage compartment?  Advice?

Thanks
Tom
