In my desire to learn more about the Model IV and CG...



Can anyone comment as to whether the Rotec 2800 would land within the

Model IV CG without weight in the tail?  If so, could it just be a well

placed battery installation?



The Rotec website lists the engine at a dry weight of 225# including the

starter, alternator, and Bing Carb.  The CG of the engine is listed (I'm

adding 2" to remove the rear accessories) at 5" from CG to mount plate,

8.7" from mount plate to back of carb, and 2" of finger room to firewall

equaling 15.7" from firewall to 225# of CG - no prop.



How does this compare to a Subaru with a redrive?  Thanks.
