I HAVE RESTORED A CMP C 160 THAT WAS LYING AROUNDIN A FRIENDS GARAGE.
RESPAYED IT IN SOUTH AFRICAN AIRFORCE CAMO AS I SERVED WITH THEM FOR 12 YEARS AND THIS PLANE HAS A LOT OF NOSTALGER FOR ME.
CAN SOMEONE HELP WITH THE C OF G PLEASE AS I DONT HAVE THE PLANS PLEASE.
WILL POST SOME PHOTOS WHEN SHE FINISHED.

PLease help I want to maiden this plane but still cant find out what the cg must be.

ALO111:
The C160 has a straight, slightly tapered wing. You can't go wrong setting the CG at 28% of the chord at the side of the fuselage.

Yes thanx, I was thinking to go along those lines as there has been so many differnt cg,s posted on these planes that me thinks "back to basics" is the way to go.

i have the same airplane and it flys great.
the c/g on mine is 2 1/4 back from the l/e at the fuse.
just make sure you have lots of up elevator for the first flight.
the incedence on the h/stab is not quite correct,minor problem with lots of up elevtor.
take care.

THANK YOU.
