Rusty,
I'd be interested to know how the weight
& balance differs with & without
turbo
John
Me too
:-)
I
originally estimated that the plane would be 54 lbs lighter without the
turbo. That would have moved the CG aft about 2 inches, which would have
been about perfect. Unfortunately, the 6 lb prop extension,
and extra exhaust weight have conspired to reduce the weight savings to an
estimated 40 lbs. This is still going to work out great for CG.
I can't wait to get this version flying. It's going to be like a new
plane.
Cheers,
Rusty
