wolfriverjoe 1,523 #27 February 23, 2009 QuoteJust where the hell IS the CG on that plane anyway? CG is just forward of center of lift. That makes the tail push down for level flight. (center of lift is somewhere in the middle of the wing) It's sitting like that because it's a tail-dragger. That puts the CG behind the main landing gear. If you think about how it sits without being broken in half, it makes sense. (a Piper Cub or Cessna 180 would do the same thing). And the Basler turbine conversions are awesome.
