Grover, Keith, and the Group, I am one of those bringing up the issue of a weight in the tail, with metal prop. I have mis-led some of you . the weight in my coupe is 3.5 pounds......bolted to the rear former, (station 189) under the tail cone attachment. Installed to correct the CG, back in 1970...
I just called Univair,and they tell me there is no such item for the coupe... However there is a weight for Swift, when using a larger engine.... Now, I wll take off the tail cone in a day or so, and check for part numbers, etc. As I remember, there was a 415 - part number on the weight...... course my memory dreams up all sorts of fanticies....So... My coupe had full instrumentation and lots of old heavy radios, and a metal prop, that was the cause of the need for the weight......to correct for CG limits. I will get back to all you folks who have been interested and maybe even alarmed about the use of a weight ot compensate for the add'l forces added by a Metal prop.... Fly Safe - Have Fun Harry
