Well fellow Piet enthusiasts. I've decided to try it. I am installing a set
of full lotus 1260 on my A65 powered Piet. The first flight test should be within
2 weeks. Pictures and rigging data will be forwarded. I was going to start
at placing the float step 6" behind the CG location of 19" from the wing leading
edge. (or float Cg at 13"" from leading edge) This location should give me
the 19" CG location at the way the aircraft will fly most of the time. And I
will initially experiment with -3deg of float down incidence.
I hope it gets off and actually climbs! I'll be using a very large lake for
the tests so plenty of room to experiment.
Any further tips or ideas are welcome.
