Strobe power pack.


I plan on a single strobe bulb on the top of the VS. This seems like a good location for the power pack. I will put the magnetometer for the compass in the wing tip, since they can't both live here.

Comments:
I wanted to make the same arrangement on my RV4 but was advised not to because the RV4 is inherently back heavy and this would just add to it. Right or wrong?
 
Wrong!

The power pack is not heavy so it is not an issue, and partially compensated by the fact that I have very little heavy strobe wire.

The CofG is determined by the overall set of decisions you make, not any single one.

I will soon add something to the blog which summarises the CofG and my overall experience now it is flying.
