    Subject: Re: Aerobatics training in the CJ 6
    Absolutely correct that nose heavy aircraft don't spin or snap as well as those with the CG aft. It was common practice in Russia to add a lead weight in the tail to bring the CG aft. Pretty far aft actually. This improved how the airplane snapped significantly. Of course they also pulled the wings off of early models pulling G's well above maximum. It has been my experience that Russian pilots are very serious about winning and personally I admire that about them. Sometimes slightly crazy is a good thing.

    Blitz........remove and pour the tail skid full of molten lead. You will ha ve to repaint it. I removed a measured 500 lbs + of antique radios, excessi ve wiring, instruments, etc. Leaded skid was enough to get CG in limits.
