Default RE: 1/2a line length?


ORIGINAL: Gregor32

One last question which isnt covered in the instructions, where should the c of g be? should it be on the bellcrank or forward or aft of it? thanks Greg
Typically on a proven design such as one that has been kitted, the CG will fall ahead of the bellcrank mounting screw and the hole where the leadout attaches on the bellcrank.

Look on the this plane and you will see a line above the wing just ahead of the bellcrank mounting screw and the words "BALANCE LINE".
On most all C/L planes you do not want the CG to fall behind the Bellcrank mounting screw as this will have very adverse effects for controlled flight.

I hope this helps some.
