<p>thanks John, this is the direction I think I'm going in, The wicks price is that 10% off of the price shown there? If so that really helps. I just have install my wings and my shop is really getting smaller and smaller. The most repeated comment I get is how are you going to get it out of there and of course I tell them it's an airplane isn't it?</p>

Also note, Wicks are offering 10% off EarthX batteries through to the end of May, need to ph them. I only mention these options, as this is the stage I'm at with my CruZer.

I've no affiliation and no experience in the use of these, it's just that they have recently been offered here in Australia, by our local SkyShop.

<p>Thanks Jeff this all helps I've been back and forth on the earthx 680 (4lbs) and the 680 (14lbs) I love the small weight of earthx but the price OUCH. </p>

Ronald,<br />
I used the 680 battery on my Corvair powered 750. The battery (and the heavy steel mounting bracket) is on the right side inside firewall. With my aircraft, the totally empty CG was just forward of the envelope. As I added fuel and pilot, the CG moved back into the envelope. The most forward calculation and the most aft calculation were well inside the envelope. No way to legally load it so it would be out.<br />

<p>thanks Bob, I really think I'll be using the earthx batt. A lot of folks are using corvairs and don't appear to be have too much trouble with w/b, although the weight will tell. I do concur that if I have to ballast the tail that would be a good way.</p>
