 Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2007 4:30 am Post subject: W & B help on original Firestar |
 |
|
I need some help on a W&B for my original 377 Firestar. I decided to N# the plane after flying over 300 hrs. I have done the calculations as per the original Kolb info and come out way aft heavy. The range is 10" to 18.75" from LE, but I get 23.35" with standard pilot. Just to clarify, I have done several W&B calculations before, and have checked my numbers, weights,and measurements twice, but I must be doing something wrong, as the plane fly's nose heavy without the aid of elevator trim tabs. If anyone has actual numbers to compare with mine, please email me so I can call. Thanks in advance.

Tom, I hate doing W & B when the datum is called out such that you end up with negative numbers. My guess is someplace you have a negative as a positive or vice versa.
