The CG range on the A36 is very different from the 33/35 models. Without
passengers in the middle or rear, the CG is further fwd and the force
required to flare is greater.

|
| Wings are the same.

| different weights,
|
| The 36 weighs 31 pounds more than the same year model 35.
|

|
| Same powerplant as mine.
|
| different CGs,
| different loading envelopes,
|
| Yes and it is beneficial.
|
| different gear,
|
| Same gear, just heavier duty than the straight 35, exactly the same as
mine.
|
| different prop governors,
|
| Irrelevant.
|
| different empennage,
|
| Duh.
|
| and a few thousand other minor differences.
|
|
|
| I guess that doesn't matter?
|
| No, it doesn't change the fact that at 70 knots you are not out of

| fine.
|
| Please re-read the thread an you will see I am referring to a 1947
| Model 35, which is significantly different in every respect I
| mentioned.
|
| I have not found that the A36 has enough energy left to flare and
| arrest the descent at 70 KIAS.
