Shifting CG In-Flight
A friend has installed a system in his home-built glider that enables shifting the CG position forward during higher cruise speeds (e.g., between lift, final glide, etc.). It uses two water reservoirs whose content can be transferred using a 12v pump. This is done, ostensibly, to reduce elevator-induced drag. Does anyone know of other gliders outfitted similarly and is there a demonstrated utility?
