 |
|
I want to compare the weight and balance of my MK III against some others... How much weight do you have on the tailwheel when sitting on the gear, and how much when you put it in flight attitude ? Did anyone have to add weight anywhere, or move anything to get the weight and balance within limits ?

Hi Chris,
I never got around to putting the VG's on the bottom of my horizontal stabilizer. What VG's do on the horizontal stab is to increase the authority of the elevator, especially at slow speeds, but elevator authority is already so good on my Kolb that I have just never done it. My elevator is fairly light as it is, and the trim range is perfect. It would be interesting to try one day, but other things I want to do to my Kolb are more important to me right now.
But just so that there is no confusion, putting VG's on the wings is the best thing by far I have ever done to my Kolb, it made a new plane out of it !
I look forward to your tailwheel weight, and if you ever do put VG's on the tail of your plane, I would love to hear about that also.
Mike
