I am just getting ready to put the firewall on my model seven. I will be using a Rotax 915 engine. In planning things out, I am trying to decide on the best location for the battery. I plan on using an earth X battery. Looking through the engine installation manual, see that the factory recommends that the battery be placed behind the passengers. I was wondering if anyone has put an earth X battery up front on the engine side of the firewall. I looked through the forum posts, but couldn’t seem to find this particular question. I would appreciate any input. Thank you.
