Re: [RCSE] Re: CG machine
For a ZAGI that is built stock, or at least still has the outside pushrods you can use a spare piece of rod slipped under the pushrods to find the ballance point. This works better than the taped pencil system as the Zagi will hang steady. michael N6CHV AMA 77292 Scobie Puchtler or Sarah Felstiner wrote: Go Bill Swingle! Nice idea! I like it! And if you're really in a hurry, just jam the pencils into a scrap slab of blue foam and balance away! Drill two holes near the middle of the 12 inch piece that will fit the pencils snuggly.
