Elevator................ 1"/13*.......................... 3/4"/10*
Rudder............... 1-7/8"/18*........................ 1"/9*
Ailerons............... 1"/18*.......................... 3/4"/13*
Flaps................ 2-1/2" /36*
All of the above is measured at the widest part of the control surface
It also says to balance the plane 5.5" back from the trailing edge of the wing when using the GP C.G Machine. The manual gives an experimentation range of 5/16 forward to 3/8" aft as well, depending on the pilot's skill level
5.5 inches back from the TRAILING EDGE???? Am I missing something here?
