Blancing on CG
Ok I am embarrassed to ask this but something is wrong here.What is level on a cub. What I mean is when I lift the cub at the cg how does it sit. On other models I would prop up the tail until the horizontal stab was level. Then I would lift it at the CG. If the tail or nose didn't drop it was level. On this cub if I prop the tail in the air until the horizontal stab was level it would be really really high. (the wing would have a negative incidence). To get it to stay there I would need a HUGE amount of nose weight (like 12oz). Am I missing something ? Does the horizontal stab have positive incidence on a cub ?Its an old 1/5 scale hanger 9 1st generation ARF cub that I'm rebuilding. The CG is supposed to be at 3 1/4" from the leading edge.
(Please not the wing was removed for the picture. )<br type="_moz" />
