    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).
    • Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Mike -


Pardon my (usual)procrastination. Here's the W&B data that came with the sparse documentation when I bought my airplane:


E.W. = L.G. 599, R.G. 593, Tail 97 = 1289 lbs.
Datum Line: Tip of Prop Spinner
Datum to C/L ofL.G. : 68.75 inches
Datum to Bottom Wing LE: 87.125 inches
Tail Wheel to L.G. : 172 inches


C.G. = 68.75 + 97x172/1289 = 81.74 inches aft of datum


Hope that's of some help to you (and others).


Joe C.
