Hey all,
We're at the stage of W&B for our S-1-11B, G-EWOK here in the UK, and as usual with the 11B there is hardly any information out there. This time around it's lack of CoG range information, so I'm hoping to gather as much information to help other 11B builders in the future.
The original W&B from Curtis for N11PU (attached) simply shows the most forward and aft loading, but does not contain any information in regards to tested CoG ranges. These figures are used:
So, 11B builders/flyers, are you able to share your weights, CoG datum and ranges please? That'd be really useful and I'll put together a spreadsheet for future reference. Thanks!
