| Quote: | Pitot: The AG5B shows a moment arm of 122.65 inches. The main landing
gear is at 100.15 inches. The AA5B has the pitot at 88.01. What moves
the CG nearly 3 feet aft on an AG5B?
What moves the arm almost two feet aft of the main landing gear (100.15
inches) on an AG5B?
Landing Light: The AG5B shows the landing light arm at 101.96 inches.
Again, this is behind the landing gear. The CG of the wheel pants is
99.76 inches.
Not only that, the leading edge of the wing is given as 75.68 inches.
What puts the landing light CG over two feet behind the leading edge?
Spar: What is the moment arm for the centerline of the spar? My best
guess is 88.5 inches for the CG. Step Strips: These are at 89.5 inches.
12 Volt Aux Power outlet for AG5B: This is at 113.2 inches. Is that due
to a 24 to 12 volt converter being mounted somewhere? Maybe under the
back seat perhaps? I've never seen one.

I think the most obvious answer is where the AG-5Bs were certified and
produced. Mississippi and West Virginia!
As we say in Alabama: "Thank God for Mississippi (and Arkansas), or Alabama
would be dead last in everything!" And those who bother to look at the
national rankings of things other than Football would see that Alabama
ranks 46-48th most years, beating out only West Virginia, Arkansas,
Louisiana, and MISSISSIPPI! With Mississippi being the only one we
consistently beat.
Therefore, I think the edumacational system in Mississippi and West
Virginia is to blame. <G>
