Jon;
I will admit to using the example of CG impact of the weight of the complete set
of tail surface hinges vs. fuel in the tank for dramatic effect, but it does
drive home the point. No matter what a builder uses for hinges back there, it's
going to weigh something but you can at least be aware of what's going out
on the tail and try to keep it light. On my airplane, the approximate moment
arm from the datum to the tail surface hinge location is about +164" and the
moment arm from the datum to the fuel location in the nose is about -4" so you
can see that there is about a 40:1 advantage to anything that goes out on the
tail compared to things that go out in front of the wing. Pretty much anything
you do in the front cockpit, landing gear, or rear cockpit instrument panel
will not affect the CG much at all but will affect the gross weight. If you
have your fuel in the wing centersection, the CG will not shift noticeably with
fuel burn. Whatever you do with a passenger or with baggage that you place
in the front cockpit will not affect CG but will affect gross weight. The front
cockpit is a magical area... things that you put in it don't affect the CG,
but getting anything into it is a magic trick in itself ;o)
In my airplane (16 gal. nose tank), after I fuel up I have to hold back stick for
at least the first hour after topping off. For the second hour or so, everything
is nicely balanced because fuel has burned off and the slight nose heaviness
eases off and the altimeter doesn't seem to want to keep unwinding on me.
After that, I don't even notice the stick pressure because I'm too focused
on the (float-and-rod) fuel gauge and am looking for a rest stop ;o)
