Need some help guys. Where is the cg for the Byron AT-6 Texan. Thanks

Tony Hallo

If you bought it used there are possibly holes drilled in the wing roots on the fuselage used for lifting wires on the cg. That's my memory anyway.

Steve & Cri Cri , the CG is 5-3/4" aft the LE at the wing root (root of the outer panel)
Drill a 1/8"hole in the upper area of the outer ply rib (of center section) just under the fiberglass lip 5-3/4" back from LE .Do this to both sides , bend a hook in 1/8 piano wire place a hook in each hole and suspend the plane from both hooks. The plane should be slightly nose down . Not unusual to add several pounds.

CRI CRI where did you go ?

Stevef16

Thanks again mate. Have one more question, when you didnthe cg, did you place the plane upside down, wings on and retracts up?

CK1

My Feedback: (60)

The plane is upright if suspended by the hooks , because the hole for the hooks are in the upper area of the rib
Inverted if using any other method of balancing
Gear is up in any case
