Hello all,
Another question regarding balancing of plane. I have my plane (Extra 300) sitting on the CG machine (inverted) and on the CG marks. I was being very fussy and when the plane balanced out I placed a level across the underside of the fuse to see if it was sitting perfectly straight. I thought that was perfect, then I realized that the underside had a taper and not level like if I took the canopy off and used the level there. So as the plane now sits on the machine and looking at a side view, the leading edge is slightly facing down and and trailing edge of the wing is facing up. This to me seems like it would be a little tail heavy, because if I make the leading edge and the trailing edge level it would fall back on it's tail. So my question would be when balancing a plane do you look to see if the wing sits level or do you look at the fuse etc. I ask because I thought as long as the plane doesn't want to aggressively lean one way or another and kinds of balances/ sits in place it's good. Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat
