Default RE: Buzzard Bombshell Engine

Hi Doug; Thanks for the quick reply. and info. This was a MEN kit. I balanced it according to plan which was about 5 1/4" back from leadng edge. I had it right on so I think I'll go with the 25%. that will move it forward. That will move it up to about 3 inches. I should know better. I always like the plane to be a little nose heavy . You can always take it out a little at a time. I had already installed a stop block when I built it. there is no incidence reading on the plan for the wing. the stab is 0. I checked and they both read the same on the bench. So, I'll try again after the fix and the corrections to CG. Thanks a lot for your info. I'll let you know how I make out.
Thanks again Pete
