W&B with prop change

[rickseeman]

As you know Ovations are nose heavy. So my W&B is always around the forward CG. I was thinking about the MT prop. It sure would take a lot of weight off the nose, in the perfect spot. I've never made a prop change this drastic. Would the installer use my present W&B and calculate a new one? I'm sure he isn't set up to do a new W&B, altho I would like to have this done sometime soon. (I want to get rid of some old avionics first.) Thanks

Your installer should be able to do a subtraction/addition for a weight and balance worksheet.  Here's the numbers from my MT prop install for M20K Encore.

Yes, it can be done as a recalculation or adjustment from the existing W&B.

Thank you. I've never done a prop change so drastic.
