Thanks Paul,
I should do the arithmetic and see what it would take to optimise the C of
G. If adding a few pounds would add a knot or two, then it would be
worthwhile.
My battery is on the firewall and I can't see moving it.
The next question would be, has anyone come up with a safe, secure and
simple method of adding weight in the tail.

Dave,
My C o G is on the front of the envelope in my 914 mono. I do know that
is
goes noticeably faster when its loaded up with a lot of gear in the back.
It is also significantly easier to land.
I need 4 pounds in the tail to fix it, but after spending so much care in
keeping the weigh off I just can't bring myself to add wieght. I might
move
the battery further aft one of these days.
Cheers, Paul
