More ways to check the Center of Gravity. Look at the photos below. They show a good way to find the CG of your airplane. Move weight forward or back to change the CG. It is more safe to test fly with forward CG, or a nose heavy airplane. Capt,n
dave de, I am sure it is a nice device to see where a airplanes CG is...but after reading all this thread....it is clear the airplane has too much up thrust. Shim the engine to give it more down thrust. Then go test fly it. I bet it will cure the problem. You did say you checked the thrust line ...but just going by the hub would seem hard to measure the thrust angle real accurate. Good luck ! P.S. pe rivers, how did you friend like the CG device?
