Aft CG or Fwd CG... where are you operating?


Recommended Posts

AH don't jump to the conclusion that those steel legs don't move and stay moved. I've seen too many that have had a hard life and do not line up where new legs usually sit.

Always remember to drop the plumb bob over the nose gear trunnion, mark the plumb bob tip on the floor and then move the mark to the mid point of the diameter of the trunnion to get the exact Datum point. Don't just use the dropped point without moving it half the diameter to find the center line point.

I will get you the arm length from the axles when i get out to the hangar . The reason we weighed the airplane was due to extent of work performed.  When we refurbished the airplane the front got lighter . We had planed to move the  battery aft but it just would not work with all the other changes . Pucks and most parts are new. The gear was removed cleaned, inspected , and painted . It is a great flying airplane but just a little aft CG.
