SR 3500 Weight and Balance

[Al & Deb Paxhia]

Phil,
I put the battery, hyd pump, and ELT in the tailcone just aft of the baggage
area. Empty CG on conventional gear was 12.14" and 13.2" on floats. Some
builders are extending the baggage area to offset the firewall forward
weight. I have not run out of elevator authority but still adding aft weight
and testing.

Where is the most common place for the battery in a SR3500 with the IO 540
Lycoming (weight about 454 lb.) Did it go on the firewall or did it need

to

go into the tail. Your opinion is appreciated. Thanks in advance for

your

time.

Put it in the tail as far back as you can.

Hi Phil !

Put it in the back, behind the baggage bulkhead - you'll
want all the weight back there .... Suggest a full toolbox
for the back of the baggage area, too ! ;-) :-)

All,

I am thinking tail cone as well. What are people seeing for their battery weight. I was thinking ~30-35 lbs with a larger Odyssey 1200.
