Default RE: Help with C G on BVM Mig-15
Hi Nick,

The best CG in my opinion for the BVM MIG-15 is at or near the removable crossover former. Notice in the picture of my MIG the zinc chromate colored former.

Fuel management is required to get to that CG. I burned off the large forward fuel tank first. So after about four minutes of flight the CG moved rear just right for inflight manuvers & most important with the MIG pitch control for landings.
