are you concerned with dumping water and changing your CG?


Hi Matt ... not really, the factory numbers and methods we all use are sound and time tested ... and I just used these methods to calculate CGs for an empty ship - and with pilot and chute - just to know 'exactly' where the CG is located. I was just curious if CG could be calculated in flight ... using hardware/electronics that are available today. Just a question on a rainy afternoon in Delaware. kk
