 Bill,
 
 You should consider doing what several of the Legacy RG builders have done;
 put them behind the seats.  That's where mine is, along with the hydraulic
 pump.  It's fairly easy to make access panels in the seat backs and build a
 bulkhead behind the batteries to keep them isolated from the baggage
 compartment.  I know of one flying Legacy with dual batteries and the
 hydraulic pump behind the seats, an IO-550 with a 3-bladed prop and dual
 alternators.  The weight and balance came out very nice.

I have a Legacy FG.  Where are you guys mounting your batteries?  I am
planning a 14V, two battery, one alternator system with fuel injection.
 It
seems like a lot of weight in the back, and crowded behind the firewall??
