Default RE: The new Tornado sport jet


ORIGINAL: KC36330

I'm shocked that my Tornado even flies................ dry weight is 14 lbs 3.2oz, blocked her up level and weighted the nose wheel........... 1lb 2oz, i guess i need to add 6oz of lead before the next flight
Your nose wheel would actually weigh a bit more, since yours is dry and Henry says to balance with the UAT full. But your point is well taken. The 1.5 on the nose wheel only works if the total weight is the same. BTW where is the CG located on the wing? Do you agree with the 12 3/4 figure?
