Your plane came out light for a Super2S RG. In order to do a weight and balance you have to measure the distance from the fire wall forward 58 inches (sta 0.0) and back from that point to the nose wheel center line (X). Then measure from the mains center line to sta 0.0 (Y) Once you have those numbers you can do a weight and balance. I have a 200 hp, constant speed prop and an IFR panel in my 2S and my nose wheel weight is 273 lbs and the mains were 1,026 lbs. I have a baggage limit of 130 pounds. S.H. had a tail heavy problem with the 2S when small engines with wood props were used and solved it with the Super 2S. The Super 2S has a longer distance from the MAC to the fire wall and a larger stab. That heavier main may give you a turn and I solved that by adding a few pounds of lead shot and resin to one wing end. To avoid bouncing the nose wheel hard, on your first test flight I would perform a power on landing. I come over the fence at 90 mph and level off over the runway to let the speed dissipate then slowly come in with power to gently let my plane down. I just installed a blended foil prop and in very hot humid weather I added ten miles per hour to my already 200mph+ cruise speed.

Randy, I have the pilot's operating handbook for the Super IIS and just got the handbook for my IIS- FT from Glasair for $45 plus shipping. Would send you the Super IIS handbook for $35 plus shipping if you are interested. It's a very well done handbook so would be nice to have.
Jack, almost ready for inspection in Camp Verde, AZ
