CG on ARC Cessna 177 Cardinal on floats
I have this plane and use it only on floats. I am a little unsure about the cg and wonder if someone here have the experience with this plane and where is the best CG (how many cm behind leading edge of the wing) on this plane flying with floats ?
Thank you for a great forum
Best regards

RE: CG on ARC Cessna 177 Cardinal on floats
Set it up so that the CG is the same as it would be without floats. To do so and make sure that there's not a screw-up in thte future resulting in loss of the plane, add any weight to the floats (not to the plane) to keep the CG the same whether the floats are on or the wheels are on.
