CG calculations.
It sounds like a good project. The PW51 will be fine I would guess.
It will be an interesting exercise calculating the CG position. I expect it could be done by working it out for the separate panels first, then calculating the respective moments of each one proportional to the wing area of each panel. Have you thought of another method? I would like to read about it if you have. My experience with planks of simple plan form shows that if the optimum CG position is calculated, measured and set on the bench, this can result in a "pain free" maiden flight. 22% MAC for this airfoil is optimum in my experience and also what Peter Wick suggests. Jim. |

i am using this http://wingcgcalc.bruder.com.br/en_US/ to calculate the Cg and so far i have only good things to say about this calcularor......(but final set up is made always on air....)
