I have a 601HDS with just the wing tanks and have been rather happy with the setup.
I’m flying behind a Jabiru 3300A with my battery on the firewall. I’m not sure about the weight differences with a corvair, but for me I didn’t have any W&B issues in my setup using just the front of spar ~11 gallon wing tanks.

Hi Ralph,
With my Stratus Subaru, I have a 9.8 gallon header with 7.1 gallon wing tanks and my radiator is 34 inches aft of the firewall on the belly. Within all variations I cannot get it out of CG unless it were loaded beyond 1300 lbs., my max utility wt.
Would think the Corvair would be close if not a bit forward on the CG.
I’ve a program you can have that you can modify numbers to run the variations for your plane if you want it. It runs on EXCEL and is nicely done and easy to use.

HI Larry,
May I have a copy of that spreadsheet? I am putting in an 0235 and it is a heavy engine. I would love to run some the W&B numbers as I try to determine where to put a battery.
I am building the 650B

would your program work on a 701? I'm installing an 0200A and planned on using the battery to help set CG. Steve

Contact Roger D. at ZAC. He will know every possible combination of engine, w & B and batt location, etc. in the 601 series. Over the years he's seen them all.
