The other adjantage of using a concentrated weight you can move is determining the aft most controllable CG. There was a great set of articles in KIT PLANES by Barnaby Wainfan on how to use stick force per g and graph out and extrapolate the point of zero stability. This will be great info to have and I'm sure Mark Langford would tell you that you don't want to be on the wrong side of that curve.

We have a large lake here where they practice diving. They may even have something they could rent to me. That may be what I am looking for. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2012 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il ? MVN ? 40th Anniversary There is a time for building and it is over. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC -----Original Message----- You might try a local dive shop and see if they will loan you some dive weights. They come in rigid form which slide onto a nylon belt which can be secured with your seatbelt. There are also soft weights which may be easier to put in some kind of bag. The lead will be small in size to get the weight you need which should help out. The lead will be easy to move around if you find the CG has moved to far for comfort. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://mylist.net/private/krnet/ to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
