Not quite 6 inches. I am at 4.75". My flying weight is 225#. I have acustom lenght fuse (about 6in longer than the short fuse) and an extendedmotor mount of about 12" from firwall to back of engine. I also added 20#of lead ahead of the firewall to make sure I always stayed ahead of the rearCG. I balance as is at about 18" from LE. Empty weight is 626#. I couldshave a few pounds from the tailwheel, but I'm not going to remove mycheater lead until I loose some girth --My own motivation.steve (doesn't look it) E.-----Original Message-----
