One talking about an Arplast PV 50 and the other about a prop strike, although it seems not to have referred to the same prop in each instance.

I've kept it inside for that time. But I dont know what happened before that. Its about time I had the hub apart and give it a good looking at.

Does anyone know, and is it worth thinking about? Page 6-4 of The "XS Trigear Owners Manual=9D, Issue 7, January 2015, shows the arm for baggage at 88. The weight and balance arm measurements are taken starting at the rear of the joggle for the cowling, which is at Fuselage Station FS 29.25. As I measure it, the bottom of the D-panel bulkhead at the back of the baggage area is at 94.5=9D aft of the joggle, which is FS 103.75. A typical carry-on bag is 23 inches tall, and I expect the CG for that in the aircraft would be about at the mid-point, or 11.5 inches forward of the base of the D panel bulkhead. The result of 103.75 - 11.50 is an arm of 92.25, not 88. Six and a half (6.5) inches in the baggage arm does make a difference with full bags loaded onboard. And CG calculations do need to be based on what I are putting on board and where those things are actually located. However, I expect using 88 is close enough - unless it looks like I am getting close to the limits, which I would think should be seldom, if ever. Right?
