 |
|
I'm building a CH650 with the taildragger option. Can I expect the empty CG to be more forward, aft or the same compared to a comparable equipped nosewheel CH601/650?
I can probably calculate the difference if I had accurate weight numbers for the nosewheel assembly. I would assume the same weight for the mains, just a different moment arm.
Any info will be greatly appreciated!

The CG has nothing to do with wether an aircraft is a tail dragger or a nose wheel type. do not archive

You don’t think that moving the 40+ pound main gear forward a foot and eliminating the nose gear would influence the CG?

You're also moving the main gear forward and adding a tail wheel with a long moment arm, which should offset the affects of removing the nosewheel.

Guys,
You are missing the point. The CG has to stay within the
design range, certainly moving or removing heavy pieces will affect the balance
of the aircraft. You will have to do what ever is necessary to bring the CG
into design range. The Zenith factory could give you guidance in this
area. do not archive.
