    A good illustrated read on the benefits of an aft CG (within limits):

    I'll have to got to the airport tomorrow to get the tail dragger weight & balance. Once I get both I'll post them.

    It is pretty hard to read many of the numbers, Paul. If you could post it as an attachment, perhaps a .pdf or .jpg, it would be able to be read easily.

    John, That is what I thought I did. I used the Paper Clip, I attached the Files, both .png files. That is how they come in! That is the only way I know how to attach files.

    If Gary want's the files directly I'll attach them to an e-Mail and send them directly to him.

    Thanks, Paul. The CG numbers were clear. So, bottom line is that the CG for the tailwheel configuration moved forward ~3 inches from your initial tricycle configuration.

    I think that's backward.
