Default RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Ty,
I put the math on that bird and the result is about factor 1.6.


Lets assume the bird is balanced with a MAC of 23%, one engine in front. For every pound you add in the rear you have to add 1.6 pounds in the front. This factor goes higher when you mount the counter weight aft the prop shaft (like after the firewall, 3 inches less the factor goes up to 1.8).

What the manual recommendation of the CG location?
