I've done a little research among the flying ES'. It is clear that the IO550
equipped ES has a forward CG challenge. Empty planes show anything from 0 to
1" forward of the forward CG limit.

My plane is not yet flying, however, I've taken some steps to alleviate this
problem. I'm using an MT prop (around 18# lighter than the Hartzell) and
moved the battery as far back as makes sense.

I hope to weigh the plane in the next month or so, I'll post the results
when I have them.
