I know the aft most CG location is 20" aft of the wing LE. That info is on theplans. What about the recommended maximum forward CG location? I don't see iton the plans and can't recall any discussions about it.I'm getting all of the paperwork together for the final inspection and this bitof info is needed.Thanks,Greg CardinalMinneapolis________________________________________________________________________________

Hi GregOn both of your questions;15 inches is the most forward CGFor my inspection I put mine on the panel of the forward cockpit, citing the ruleon antique models. That didnt get by with the inspector. I had to mount asecond one on the left side under the horiz stab.Would you like a copy of the Piet operations manual? The inspector seemed to likeit. I posted it to the Matronics pic file.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

Dick,I thought the instrument panel location for the data plate would not fly with Mr.Norris.What did your plate by the tail say on it? What is it attached to? What is itmade of?Chris ----- Original Message -----

Oh, you're right - July was interiors and exteriors. I saw "Panels" andthought "Greg's Piet." Glad you and Dale received good reviews! :-)best, Cory -----Original Message-----
