Mike and Craig,

	Mike's right of course - it's your own CofG that rules ..weight

should not be a factor

 But Balance is.....

	Science moves on, so I have a photo of a 747 with its nose skyward

and its rear 

aground........ and that's before they found out what the bent bits were

about. Tut and double tut.

I neglected to mention that the second bulkhead (mod) contained the 'D'

panel which bottom

edge was made level with the tank top.

Fair winds

Ferg

PS: My buddy volunteered to enter the tail section without checking with the

foreman, it tipped, 

and we had to twist his feet to unscrew him from the aft section. Funny, he

never came back.

Hi Guys



A little off topic, but I think I remember reading that if you have a

Monowheel a bit on the nose heavy side, if you remove the tailplanes it

will levitate the tailwheel with no assistance.



Is this true? Did anyone experiance?

I added 3 pounds of lead to lead edge of stabilators and was able to

reduce mass balance weight by .8 pounds. Figure I will be more at risk

than normal.

Can''t help but wonder if anyone else's mind has gone where mine has on 

this topic.



Although I can picture myself lying serenely on a padded plank nudged 

between the head rests, feet extending aft thru the space opened by 

removal of the "D" bulkhead panel, eyes closed w/ one of the side 

window hatches propped open, I keep getting this negative image which 

is too much akin to a casket open for viewing.



Does the term, "flying coffin" ring any bells?



All in all, I suspect I will avail myself of the commodious baggage 

space to carry a small tent and sleeping pad to pitch alongside, if not 

under, our marvelous wings.



Thinking positively,



Fred

Ron,

Keep us informed of the empty weight of your beauty once she is finished.
