Default CG- Measuring in. to cm.

For those of you who think they are great at converting centimeters. to inches. um... think twice.

Me, a 41 Year old, with a math degree, Systems Analyst, pretty bright went ahead and converted the 10 cm. CG to 2.54 inches.

Well, ITS NOT 2.54" it's ~3.75 Inches...DOHH

Added so much lead the plane could have been a sinker if I was fishing. Luckily I was watching some threads on this board and it got me thinking, why was one person also having issues. So, before long I broke out a ruler and behold!

Thank the man upstairs I didn't attempt to have flown it since the weather has been freezing in the N.E. lately. Now I can go back and remove all that lead and start over.

Moral of this story... don't think you are too smart, measure twice and double check against a resource. If it seems out of whack, it probably is.
