| Subject: | Mono ground handling |
Mono Gents,
Im looking for recommendations regarding location of C of G and its affect on ground
handling, particularly during landing roll out on a hard surface runway
in the hands of an experienced taildragger pilot, soon to become a newbie mono-driver.
Im fully aware of the content of Section 6 - Weight and Balance, of the Owners
manualincluding, of course, the recommendation for the restricted C of G envelope
for first flight.
My principal question is: Within that restricted envelope, what has been learned
about whether the optimum C of G location would favor the forward limit?or the
aft limit?
Comments most appreciated,
Fred

Fred, For me the important thing is that your c of g should allow any
realistic loading without putting the c of g out of limits, that is with
one v light pilot and full fuel and luggage and also heavy pilots and
little fuel and luggage. That requires a fairly forward c of g, which
for me worked out at 58.83". I believe but have no proof that a forward
c of g will also help ground stability by minimising the tendency for
the tail to keep swinging outwards once a turn is started. I achieved my
'ideal' c of g by adding 3 lbs of lead bolted in front of the stern
post.
Best of luck, David Joyce, GXSDJ
