() ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 09:51:14 AM PST US From: "John Hauck" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Weight and Balance? So if I am reading this right you are saying to forget about the Weight an d balance and do not add the weight? With no ballast my cg would be at 23.95 or about and inch aft of the aft li mit. Grant R Hi Grant/Gang: Nope, you are not reading it right. I try not to tell others how to fly or what to do to their Kolbs. I do sha re with folks what I do to and with my Kolb and how I fly. I reinterate, I am not telling anyone to forget about the Weight and Balanc e, and not to add weight in the nose. That is strictly up to the individual's decision on what to do. However, it has worked for me and my Kolbs for many successful years and ho urs. john h mkIII ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:07:26 AM PST US From: Subject: Kolb-List: Weight and Balance? Hi Arty: Could bee! ;-) Good thing I am not an engineer or I would be hauling 60 lbs of lead in the nose of my mkIII. NOTE: I am lost in the mountains of Tennessee, dragging around my 5th wheel and ATV. There is joy in riding the wonderful green mountains of this fine State. However, email does not work so well. Right now I am parked at the Comfort Inn north of Knoxville, TN, on my way to Brimstone ORV, near Huntsville, TN. If I do not respond to an email, it is because I do not have the capability to do so, not because I am being a grumpy old fart. john h mkIII Since weight and balance is a matter of physics - how come we've got such different results than would be expected? Is this akin to the "a bumblebee can't fly"?
