Fwd: I fly the SparrowHawk
I'd be interested in CG location also... your pilot weight and which counter
weight in the tail.? I'd also like to know your progress on getting the "category" certification you need for the USHGA insurance. BT "Shawn Curry" wrote in message ...

Do you know where the CG was during your flight? Cheers, Shawn |

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.
