Mickey,

Hi there - my empty Cofg is 77" aft, with a tail weight of 50lbs and an
empty of 1112lbs.

My battery is in the baggage bay and works very well, however I am now
considering a move to the rear position ( which should add 10 lbs to the
tail ) and I will carry ballast when it is gusty or very windy.

I hope you are progressing well with your 8.

Best Rgds, Nic

My RV-8 is a little light in the tail, so I added a 40 pound bag of floor
sweep to the rear baggage compartment plus my tool bag, some survival stuff
and anything else I want to lug along. Oh yes, the battery is in the rear
position also. It helped on the landings. To date, I haven't had the
problem with the wind, but maybe the conditions weren't right. Tom Schad
