    Hey everyone. Thanks for all your input. As it stands right now, moving some items such as the fire extinguisher more aft, fired kit, tool kit etc everything will work out. Taking 6lbs off the mains and getting it to the tail fixed everything. The good news is I can REALLY use my extend baggage area!!!

    It still seems odd. I have a Lycoming O290 and my empty weight is 920lbs and my empty Arm is 9.94". This is with one of the heavier firewall forward set ups. The battery is in the tail which makes a huge difference. Is there possible something with the extended grove gear you have that could be moving the landing gear forward effecting the forward CG?
