Default RE: So what do you think the problem is...

flyifr, a rough way of finding the C/G on the wing is it should be at or near the front main spar in the wing itself.. It should be close to this, but trainers are fairly forgiving so if you are close to this, it should still fly OK.. As far as that step goes, balance the plane, change or check the incidence and try it again. If it still does it then think about moving the floats forward.. In the picture you can see the black tape is the C/G of the Norseman, and my step is 2.5-3" behand it.. I installed the floats to the scale dimension and after this I realized where the step was. I thought O well I'll just try it anyways, well it took-off and flew great... I haven't changed anything since




Yes Jim is right, my picture is a Jpeg. I just took a photo of it with my digital camera, and then edited it to size...
