 Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2007 4:11 pm Post subject: M3X tailwheel weight |
 |
|
Ron, I had 75 lb. on the tailwheel when I weighed it before I started
the rebuild and that was enough that I was aft of the CG limits with
full tanks flying solo. Not much, my extended range tank mounted in
the passenger's seat brought it back into limits, but only by a
whisker.

Folks I am mounting the engine, for placement purposes. Can anyone tell me
how much weight max weight there supposed to be on the tail for it to remain
within CG. I am trying to locate my heavy installation as far back as
possible but still there are CG limits to contend with. Any info will be
helpful.

I did 3 different placements and my tail wheel had 60 pounds 62 pounds and 63 pounds. that is with me in the seat with the nose pod, but no lexan. I figure if I have to I'll stick a battery way up front. I still have instruments and all of that to go forward of the leading edge. It may work out.
