HI Everyone!
Well there's nothing left to do!! I even brought her downstairs to my second airplane room! I've put the Gee Bee back on the table to finish it. Ok i guess we'll talk about the finished numbers that Dan has been helping me with. I'll be using two batteries at 8.8 oz. apiece, and a pilot bust, i'll guess he'll be around 2 oz.. that's all that should be added to the first 22.2 lb weight. That'll bring the weight up to 23.6 lbs. i'm rounding the decimals to the next higher number. I think that will still be in an acceptable wing loading number range. Now what worries me a bit is that Dan calculated a CG location of 9.6" behind the LE at the root, and my plan is showing a measurement closer to 6 3/4" back from the LE. Hmmm... I'm going to go back right now and check that number! Hope you All have a Great weekend! Bob
