Default RE: Impact cg

Jim --

Kudos for starting a more positvely named Impact thread!

CG: In the original extremely long Impact build thread there was some discussion of CG location during the course of which some discrepencies of wing tube location were discovered. I don't remeber numbers off the top but we started refering to the location as X" back from the LE of the wing at the root -- seemed to make comparisons more valid. The discussion was about 2/3 of the way through pages, I believe.

You said you used Rustoleum paints for the trim -- any particular type to look for? Are they fuel proof or do they require clear coating? From the photo in your post they looked great.

I am also looking at touching up some seams -- did you order the white touch up paint through Composite-Arf's web site or do you have a alternate source? If from their website, how long did it take?

Thanks,
Tom
