istic loading without putting the c of g out of limits, that is with one v l
ight pilot and full fuel and luggage and also heavy pilots and little fuel a
nd luggage. That requires a fairly forward c of g, which for me worked out a
t 58.83=9D. I believe but have no proof that a forward c of g will als
o help ground stability by minimising the tendency for the tail to keep swin
ging outwards once a turn is started. I achieved my =98ideal=99 c
of g by adding 3 lbs of lead bolted in front of the stern post.
