Post by: Terry Caron on October 15, 2015, 07:49:59 PM

Anyone have a measurement from the LE for the correct CG for the Mustang?

Thanks.

In the absence of an actual location . I would start at about 3/4 of an inch behind the leading edge and add tail weight till it just gets a bit over reactive...going very slow with the adding. Somewhat nose heavy is a lot safer than a small amount tail heavy.

Terry,

I guess you're asking about the 38'' span version.

Hip Pocket forum has a CAD redraw of this version on its plan gallery. Shows the CG range.

Thanks Greg - appears to be ~1.5" to 2" from the LE.
