Yes that's how I arrived at the optimum position for the battery
together with the scientific method of course my empty APS weight is
58.23 so it sounds like yours is further aft before you start to load
anything. Its amazing what a difference moving the battery makes. Alan

On a tangent to this discussion, my battery is in the back but I find I
have to trim nose down all the time. My indicator is always in the lower
third of it's range and sometimes right at the stop if fully loaded with
luggage. My empty c of g is 59.53 inches aft of datum. I wondered if
it is worth my while trying moving the battery forward? Anyone tried
this?

For my Rotax 914 installation the battery is located just aft of the
baggage bay bulkhead, starboard side. There were two reasons for
selecting this location - 1) Kim Prout, who knows a few things about the
aircraft and is my EAA Technical Advisor, suggested this location
because his first Europa was slightly nose heavy, and 2) the factory's
wiring harness has the fat wires start at that location.

Among the jobs to do before putting the top on you might think about the
battery compartment - what are builders doing to house their batteries
please?
