Default RE: Avistar 40 Select RTF CG

Hello to the group

I added 2 ounces to my tail today and went flying.
This gave me a new CG of 3 1/4. I found the plane to be less stable in flight.
Keeping the wings level was a full time job at 3/4 throttle. But the plane floated good.

There was an 8 knot wind, but I've flowen in this much wind and had fun with it with the CG set at 2 1/2 to 2 3/4.

I made 3 touch and goes and 1 landing and left .
I flew 1 tank of gas and then left because the plane felt unsteady in the air.

I'll try again on a not so windy day.

Ralph
