I can do a reasonable snap roll with an instructor in the back. Fly solo from the rear seat. It snaps reallly well! The manual I have is for 7ECA, 7GCAA, 7KCAB, 7GCBC, effective serial numbers -75 and up. It lists the following placard on the instrument panel: "Occupy Front Seat When Flying Solo". Run some CG calculations for different fuel loads. Good idea. Here are the results in several configurations (for the airplane I fly): dual, 1/2 fuel 15.59" c.g. solo, full fuel 12.70" c.g. solo, 1/2 fuel 11.90" c.g. solo, empty fuel 10.98" c.g. 7KCAB aerobatic c.g. range: 10.6" - 16.0" So more fuel will help when flying solo. Unfortunately, I don't have too much flexibility there, as the FBO likes to keep about 1/2 fuel in it (to stay under gross on dual flights). Thanks, Boris |
