I'll tell you I had all I could do to keep that puppy in the air. It jumped off the runway almost vertical. Added all the down trim and still had the stick forward. On lap and put that sucker on the ground. Then I went to the little boys room and ...................well you get the idea.......[sm=drowning.gif][sm=drowning.gif][sm=drowning.gif][sm=tongue_smile.gif]
Yes indeed and I feel your pain, dealing with an airplane CG that is to far aft is not a pleasure
unfortunately that is all to often and many will fight to the death to not deal with it. A common situation I see is some folks with quality arf's that have instructions describing how to mark the target CG on the airplane and then balancing it at that point will instead mark the point as instructed but stop there. At the field when i pick up it of course bangs the tail down and they will swear that they balanced it just like the instructions said. At this point many will still get mad if I want it fixed first.
