Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: what is the fwd max CG?Walt, I'm sitting here dreaming all sorts of scenarios on this weight & B. For instance if one of my three 100 lb daughters came home and wanted a check out in the Piet whatwould the W&B become? , especially if they left me enough money to fill the tank. To answer your question , I don't know and I don't think it will be determined until flownCorky________________________________________________________________________________

Corky,As the builder of the ship you get to decide the ships gross weight. Irecommend that we recompute using a higher gross wieght assuming two 220 lbpilots. Then we can work down to a minimum wieght for a pilot in the backseat. This will enhance the utility of the ship to others if you sell it.Face it us youngsters are a little bigger than you guys that won all thewars. Besides, as you have the numbers now, almost all of us would never beable to so much as ride with you or give you a ride in your own plane, Imean motorglider.chris-----Original Message-----
