Weight and Balance - lever arms

Postby Bryan Cotton » Thu May 06, 2021 2:59 pm

All,
Did you use the Sonex lever arms for W&B or did you go and measure them for yourself? If you built to the plans is there much reason to worry about establishing your own datums?

Thanks!

Either way be careful about things like the two wings not actually being lined up
