That would have moved the CG aft about 2 inches, which would have been about perfect. Unfortunately, the 6 lb prop extension, and extra exhaust weight have conspired to reduce the weight savings to an estimated 40 lbs. This is still going to work out great for CG. I can't wait to get this version flying. It's going to be like a new plane.
