| Subject: | Re: Challenger long wing weight and ballance |
It may appear that I am being picky about this but, if you assume the CG is
correct with the engine running, and then loose power with aft CG in flight
the likelyhood of stall recovery becomes an issue.>>
Hi,
I wouldn`t disagree strongly with that but with or without the engine
running if the front wheel is on the ground with the pilot in place thats
pretty close. If you have trouble getting the nose down in either condition
stick some weight in the nose. I added some sheet lead wrapped around the
transvers spacer carrying the pedals (I thinK its been a long time) just
below the point of the nose, I had the old chisel nose model,. Just wrapped
several leaves on held with some jubilee clips.
I lost engine power twice, both times through the teeth of the main prop
drive belt stripping, so the prop stopped producing thrust even though the
engine was runningand had no problems landing.
Best course is do a proper C of G calc. The one in the building manual works
fine.
Cheers
Pat
