KR> C.G location, Engine centerline

2016-03-30 Thread Pete Klapp
Mark I think I going to move the engine a little further fwd such that it calculates out that full fuel and pilot puts the cg right at the fwd end of the cg range. What about changing the location of the cg range, or should I stay with RR location? And you don't see a problem with lowering the c

Joe, A blockage in the Pitot tube or pitot plumbing will cause the ASI to lag, reading low at times, then high when you slow down. A blockage in the static system will cause the ASI to be erratic, reading both high and low at times as altitude changes. If the ASI is functioning normally, but
