As for my project, I have a ~200# engine on a short fuselage. A pound
over stock doesn’t sound like much additional weight, but it is at the

and a significant advantage for me to adopt it’s use. One significant
advantage might well be that it would appparently increase safety when
landing on grass strips. I’ll have to cogitate a little more to decide.

Griff,
Not sure I follow your logic on this one. What advantage would a heavy
engine / more forward C.G. on tricyle gear have when landing on grass.
Generally, conventional gear is considered more advantageous on
unimproved (grass, dirt, etc) .
