How risky would it be for me to use the EXP119 engine (about 10 pounds lighter?) as far as aft CG issues are concerned?
For almost as long as I’ve been building my -14, I’ve been concerned about ending up with an aft CG issue. I had been planning on dual alternators because I was also planning on a full SDS EFII system. If I CAN switch to the EXP119 (engine and finishing kit already ordered), I wouldn’t have a second alternator and would probably switch back to an emag system. That would allow me to use a much simpler electrical system (something that I would greatly appreciate). I’m also concerned that my primer in the empennage and tailcone was applied too heavily (definitely not just a misting). I would also like to use an EarthX battery but that, of course, wouldn’t be a necessity.
