Neico Aviation was experimenting with forward CG by adding a harmonic balancer on the flywheel. I know, I was there to receive training in the 360. That was the day that Doug Weeldryer went up to test the balancer. He asked if I wanted to go, I rightly said no. That was the day the left inboard GM3 hard point collapsed on turnout and the corresponding mandatory service bulletin was published for us guys to install a spacer between the hardpoint and the top web spar. Guess what, I was the first homebuilt to install that little item probably coincident with the factory plane. Regards the CG I know Orin was experimenting with it and stated the plane flies better. That's all I know. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
