John Monday as asked to very question I was about to ask. I already have a CofG problem and have added lead to my front engine mount to correct. Puting more weight that far back is really going to cost me in weight.
Are there other ways to get the same result? Spring tention on the upper cable? or on both with a bias to the top cable? Replace the cables with a push/pull rod and put the counter weight on the foreward pivot point of the rod (rear spar)? On another note: This is by far the best email list I've been part of. The information is great, not to much bull .......dust. Thanks to all who contribute to this list. The more I read, the more I learn and then I realise, the less I know! :-) Thanks Barry Kruyssen k...@bigpond.com AUF Registered 19-3873 http://users.tpg.com.au/barryk/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "roger mitchell" <rpmmo...@msn.com> To: "KR builders and pilots" <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 10:10 AM Subject: Re: KR>my web site bear in mind the farther forward you can place the weight ,the more effective per oz. it will be.on the stab. also a little wit of weigth 10 ft. aft of your C.G. has a large effect ----- Original Message ----- From: jsmon...@aol.com To: kr...@mylist.net Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2003 5:55 PM Subject: Re: KR>my web site I would be curious to see if anyone has plans for the extended elevator for counter weight. I have heard people wanting to extend the h/s 6" on either side for better pitch control (when they are heavier!) Can I add on to the end of my elevator 6" on each side and add counter weight.. should it be the full length (deepth) or the horizontal stabilizer???
