    Subject: Re: Model 520
    --> Commander-List message posted by: Derek Monk <britmonk@adelphia.net> I guess that all this about cg limits and datum's is obvious to most people by now. So I'll just add one or two comments for interest: The original fuselage datum 0.0 was based on L3805 nose datum and was used for fuselage stations for ever more. This was logical since the stations quoted in your manuals are the fuselage datum's for major components such as frames, bulkheads etc. and Aero Commander used much of the same tooling and parts for the whole production run of Twin Commanders. Since various fuselage plug inserts were used to lengthen the fuselage, the station dimensions changed occasionally but a look at the various model station diagrams will show the common sections (the frame spacing is the best clue). The early Commanders, (520, 560, 560A, 680) used essentially the same wing configuration so the 21.2 sq. ft. flap area and 20.52 aileron area should be constant among these models (by the 695B the aileron area was still the same and the flap area almost so - 20.80). The fuselage station for the wing L/E was 102.0 and the forward and aft c.g. limits were around STA 116 to 125. The different models would vary by an inch or two, probably due to fuselage length changes. Of course the later models also used the same wing configuration, but with a center section insert to increase the span. As mentioned, he cg datum's were chosen far forward, but not always forward of the nose, so adding radar could be a negative balance, for example.

    --> Commander-List message posted by: "Tom Fisher" <tfisher@commandergroup.bc.ca> I managed to read that method in the FAQ and did send the image to the gallery. I believe this means that members might trip over a time sensitive image that I sent to our group. Maybe when I want members to see a time sensitive image I will first send it to the gallery, wait for it to be scanned and posted then I will send an Email to the group to go and view the image.
