I'd be interested in CG location also... your pilot weight and which counter
weight in the tail.?


That was addressed in my recent tour of the facilities with Duane...
Greg's father. He showed me several horizontal joiners having
different weights. I think the lightest was a tubular piece with a
black felt marking saying 1.47 lbs. The heaviest was machined from
solid steel and was 7 lbs. The CG is adjustable with these differing
weight horizontal joiners and can accomodate a range of 15 to 36% MAC.
I was told the 7lb solid steel joiner was used for a 220 pilot... the
lightest tube... a 145 lb pilot. A pilot any lighter and additional
ballast would be needed in the cockpit.
