Thank you brother, I was looking for had g16 cg from different source, and your is the best.

That was awesome Larry thanks for sharing 👍👍👌

[@samsman007]

170mm with gear up or down? Reading your other comments moving the CG forward 7-10mm, so what the final CG now (with gear up or down) that you are happy with?

[@Royshanger]

Well, aren't you a little genius?

[@andrewmccleod7785]

II have a question I keep coming up nose heavy are you adding any weight to the tail?

[@LarryRWatson]

Andrew Mccleod- hi. Thanks for the question. After flying this plane in this configuration, it’s actually still tail heavy and squirrels as all get out. I need to move this CG about 7-10mm forward. This video was just to show the CG change from gear down to up. What’s your CG?

[@66francis]

gear-elevator mixing to compensate?

[@LarryRWatson]

there is an onboard mixer, most of us disable the onboard mixing on this airframe. This was just to show how much the CG shifts. The aft CG is beneficial for takeoff and landing. it allows the plane to get into high alpha a little easier. Having a short runway here (400') it allows the plane to get ROG in about 390'.
