Have any of you 801 builders/owners/pilots looked into the Prince Q-Tip propellers? I think that's the name. Seems like the lighter weight on the nose might be beneficial. I'm not making any decisions, just gathering information. Any feed back would be appreciated. It's OK for you other guys building the "smaller" ZAC planes to answer too.

Do you really want a lighter nose? Perhaps the only reason is if you have an exceptionally heavy engine.My 801 is equipped with an O-360 engine (a little over 300 lbs with accessories) and my empty CG is still a little further back than I would like.
The problem with this is that sometimes, depending on wt distribution, I reach the aft limit before I am at gross weight.
If I had to do it over again I would place the battery on the firewall rather than under the passenger seat, in order to move the CG forward.

LARRY,
SEE HOW SMART I AM FOR ASKING THE PROP QUESTION BEFORE I MAKE A DUMB MISTAKE, WHICH FOR ME USUALLY COSTS A LOT OF MONEY. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT AN ENGINE WEIGHS. I THOUGHT AROUND 400 LBS FOR SOME REASON. I'M NOT EXACTLY UP ON THE WEIGHT AND BALANCE THING YET EITHER. THANKS FOR THE REPLY. IT WAS JUST WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. GOOD INFORMATION WITHOUT STARTING A WAR OF THE WORDS.
