CG on a Bi-Plane
Does anyone know how to check the CG on a Staggerd Wing Bi-Plane? I inherited this Bipe and have no idea who made it I just completed putting the radio gear and engine on it but I'm not sure how to check the CG do you use the top wing or the bottom?
Thanks
Thanks

RE: CG on a Bi-Plane
You have to figure both wings into the equation. You use the leading edge on the "forward" wing usually the top, and use the trailing edge of the aft positioned wing usually the bottom to figure your MAC.
