2 pounds in the overall scheme of things is a "nit" unless you are installing it in the tail. Your power supply and lights will probably be mounted in the wing portion of the aircraft, at the tips, stub wings, etc., and they won't make a fraction of an inch difference in the W&B. I have / can have 25 gal of fuel in my wing tanks. They are located from the rear face of the forward spar and 10 inches toward the trail edge and from root to tip of the outer wing panels. Because a majority of the fuel load is in the CG envelope I can go from full to empty tanks and my CG only shifts an inch or so and that shi\ft is forward. I do not use a header tank. You can see why I consider two pounds in the same area a "nit". Stick them in and go fly.................. Larry Flesner
