Short video of my first flight after an annual.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iUmd4LjXow Absolutely amazing how 6 pounds in the tail cone can improve my landings. I had 45 pounds in the cargo to bring the CG aft. I now was able to remove all of that weight due to a measily 6 pounds in the tailcone.. First half of the video has me picking up flight following in KJAN airspace Second half of the video has my 4 landings from short final to landing / touch and go. Landing judge scores most welcomed! |

I recall a BeechCraft approved mod, loosely decribed as a "lead horseshoe shaped weight" installed near the tail, but remember it being a bit heavier. |

That is the exact shape that the weight is shaped like. My A&P ordered the part, and it may come in various weights, but I am not sure. |
