RE: Composite ARF Tucano Build
Hi guys,
Yes, hard to believe, but nobody who has moved the c of g forward with the magic 12oz has yet come back with the new balancing position.
Please guys, if you added the 12oz to your as-per-the-manual c fo g, can you please let us all know where your Tucano is now balancing. If one of you can be so kind, it will help everyone still building their Tucano to try and move stuff forward so that the additional 12 oz can possibly be saved.
Just empty the tanks and get a mate at the field to pick up the plane with you, check where it balance with the wheels down, and take a measurement for us. A measurement from either the leading egde, or the trailing edge of the wing - at either the wing tip or wing root will be fantastic.
BTW, all of you that say you balanced on the wing retaining bolt - this position is even further back (aft) than the suggested c of g in the manual. So I am pretty sure the wing retaining bolt is not the position after the 12 oz had been added.
Cheers,
JanR
