Seagull PT-19 C of G?
Can anyone help me with this please? C of G for a Seagull PT-19, 46 size?
Manual says 65 - 75 mm back from the leading edge of the wing measured at the wing tip would you believe.
Even if this was right, how impractical - can't even get you arms wide enough to support it at those locations.
Could they mean at the fuselage
Has anyone built one of these and done some flight testing?
Thanks, Steven

Hello Steven
You can take a piece of string and project the balance point from the tip to the wing root (perpendicular to the wing root) and this comes out to 3-13/16". This corresponds to 28% of Mean Aerodynamic Chord which is close enough to the normal rule-of-thumb of 25%.
How does your PT-10 fly?
