Bloody Wonder C of G

Hiya,

I've just put together the Bloody Wonder from plans, but have no point of the C of G, just the wording Centre of Gravity. Does anyone know where it should be. I can probably work it out myself but it would be nice to get the 'official' dimensions.

Many thanks all

Baz

Pulled up the V2 Bloody Wonder plans . . . huh. Not on the plans (as you've seen).

Pulled up an old V1 copy I have on my hard drive and measured -- 2.75" back from the LE.

While there are structural differences between the versions, the surfaces are pretty much the same.

Crafty Dan,

That's magic, thanks a lot, I'll go with that as it's more or less what I measured up. The proof is in the pudding eh.

Just remember, a little nose heavy won't hurt. Looked back at the Mk3 version and it says a full inch forward of that.

I know 2.75" flies fine . . . but anywhere between 2.75 and 1.75 should work.

Good luck :)

Thanks for that Dan. Any doubt and I usually go to the main spar centre, so I reckon that that 1" could be about right eh.
