Tyler,
Ahh, I see that you're getting close to having electric start on those JPXs. I do not care for the added complexity of the electrical system, but pushing a button beats crancking on a 2 cycle in the cold any day.
I elected to place my battery inside the center section just over of my head. My thought process was with it directly over the pilot's head that it wouldn't affect the CG too much. Also, the additional weight of the KFMs may need to be counter balanced as well. The starting relays are mounted inside the center section in an effort to keep the nacelles all nice and tidy.
Slowly the electrical wires are getting installed and once my second engine gets here (maybe tomorrow) I can put engines on and pretty up all of the wire bundles and such.
Russell,
I put the trim tabs on because they had been installed by the dealer who originaly built it. I don't know how much of an impact they will make flying single pilot and then with a passenger.
I hope to be making KFM noise this weekend......we'll see.
Dave
