Larry Thanks for the link for the weight and balance handbook. I've been using the formulas from AC 91-23 DOT manual. I ran more numbers using several datums: aft of the main gear, several inches out in front of the spinner, and the prop flange. All the numbers come out good. Empty CG's fall fwd of the RR CG range. When I put in values for me, a passenger, various fuel quantities, baggage in various configurations, all the "flying CG's" fell within an 1.75 to 3.5" aft of the RR CG range, resulting in a total of about 1.75" change from me and 1/2 fuel to max gross wt. Everything fell very close to the middle or better of the "preferred 6" CG range". Looks like I can move the engine between 2 to 3" fwd of where a WW engine mount would locate a Corvair engine. Thanks for your help and insight. Pete
