Default RE: Help with Midwest AT-6 Texan

Yes. That's what I was considering after some more thought, a G38, and I happen to have one. I definately need more power than what I have for fear of stalling somewhere. The man I bought it from never flew this bird nor did he ever have a model like it. Looking at the plane, you wouldn't think it was that heavy. But man oh, man..it is!! Just look at the photo and see all the weight bolted on to the nose. Enough weight to make it balance, but plane will lack power. Even so, if I bolt a G38 on and it's slightly nose heavy....that's better than tail heavy, yes?

Thanks, Terry. The balance point photos will be very helpful when I start working on this.
