Subject: Pietenpol-List: W&B articleRyanNice job on the article it certainly provokes thought in deciding wing and gear placement and relationship. So for basic build how would suggest determining best location at the bare fuze level of construction?JohnSent via DROID on Verizon Wireless________________________________________________________________________________

John, sounds like you are at about the same stage as I am. I'm going to wait for the BPA article on W&B on the Corvair powered planes. Then I will use the measurements that WW suggests as to the placement of the wing. I gather that if the leading edge of the wing is directly over the axel center line then CG will probably be correct. I'll find out when the new article comes out. (Unless I bug WW for the info before hand) Chuck ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: W&B articleRight now that's exactly where I am at, working from my plans the axle centerline is supposed to be 17 inches behind the fire wall and that matches up well with the bracing and supports of the fuz construction. So I am hoping I have it properly positioned, except for one additional factor which I am a Bernard plus size pilot who world like to bring a willing passenger onoccasion. So although I continue to fight the loosing battle of loosingpersonal gravity I need to consider design compensations as part of the package.Looking at all aspects and aspect relationships at the moment loving theproject and anxious to fly all at the same time.JohnDo no archive unless you too are gravity enhanced!In a message dated 1/5/2011 4:08:20 P.M.
