Default RE: BVM F-4 CG

ORIGINAL: motstud74

I wanted to know where you guys have the CG set the best? The plans show 12-1/4” measured outboard along the leading edge. There is an addendum to change it to 12-3/4”. I remember speaking to Phil Nuza and he I thought told me to measure it in the middle of that box on the leading edge. If that the spot the CG is at 14" measured outboard along the leading edge. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Motstud,

12-3/4" along the leading edge is the correct place for the CG and on my F-4 there is no box at that point. Not sure what Phil was talking about or if you misunderstood him but I would definitely start at the 12-3/4" point. Oddly, this is one airplane where a slight forward CG makes the airplane less stable.
