RE: Pfalz DIII resources -- Photos, Drawings, Plans, etc.
Alan, On the SE5a I am almost ready to test fly, I looked at your formula to see if it agreed with the plans. I find that the CG indicated on the plans is maybe 3/4 to an inch aft of the point you've indicated as a CG location. I agree that there certainly is a relationship between the location of the landing gear and the CG. However, I've never heard any one say that this was another method to locate the CG. What if you used smaller or larger diameter wheels?
I respect your opinions and I know your hiistory. I have the Flying Models magazine in which your Pfalz DIIIa article was printed and I want you to know I'm not disagreeing with you; however, can you elaborate on this method better?
