Thanx for the tip Terry! I was thinking that. If I can bend them about 1 inch back. Then I may not have to use any weights up front.
I know with the Arrow I used to have (crashed on friday), the guy who instructed me had me bend the main gear forward a tad. What he checked was moving the tail downward to see how much it would spring back up.
You guys mentioned trike gear, the main gear is always behind the CG. And then if a taildragger, the main gear is forward of CG?
