    David,
    I dont know if your 233 (and t3 double fork) is heavier than my o200 (and standard tail wheel), but i initially planned my odessey battery for the tail and it moved the cg too far aft. I ended up putting it behind the seat and my 58lb tail is perfect.

    Thanks Ken. The O-233 weighs 210 lb, but I don't know the weight of the O-200. But I think your number of 58lb on the tailwheel resonates because I think others have come up with similar numbers. So maybe that's a good guide at this stage.
