Every thing was fully assembled and weight and balance calculations made. Results not good. Nose heavy.



My initial calculations showed nose weight needed to get to proper CG. I overdid it and did not check during the layout of stuff. With everything assembled in the nose the spread sheet showed I was 40mm nose heavy from target CG of 280 from LE.

I will go back and move batteries aft and possibly air tanks to the rear and should be able to get the proper CG with out adding any weight.

Always something...
