John, be cautious, I added 28" behind the rear spar (2 bays) and even with the O-235(208 lbs + accessories) up front I am concerned about ending up with a slightly tail heavy condition. (my tanks are also in the stub wings between the spars) which adds to the rearward cg . the longer moment arm makes a little extra weight a problem. just my 2 cents Best Regards
