ist: Balance weights=0A=0A=0APhil, My inspector and the LAA were
entirely happy to have a lead block bolted on to the fr
ont of my sternpost - 3 lbs in my instance but they woul
d have accepted more. Have you worked out what the ideal p
osition of your C of G is? - that is one where you can
accommodate any sensible combination of crew/fuel/luggage without
needing to do calculations?=0ARegards, David Joyce, GXSDJ=0A =0A

age posted by: "Phil B" <daveporthcawl@aol.com>About to get m

the best place to fix the weights. I thought of fixing som
e flat sheets of lead to the stern post but wondered if
it's strong enough or may be each side of the tail wheel
spring.hile I appreciate that each build is different can a
nyone give me a range of ballast weights I will expect to
need. At this stage I don't know whether to cater for 3lbs
or 30lbs of ballast.Thanks in advance.hil Bit no. 03
