 |
|
I just got my new IVO prop and it weighs 2 lbs less than my old GCS. The
plane is 50 miles away so I don't want to make a special trip to measure the
moment arm of the prop. Does anyone know the distance from the prop to the
leading edge of the wing so that I can recalculate the weight and balance?

Pete,
What are you flying? What engine? (It's a good idea to put
your full name, location, and flying type / status in your signature
so we don't have to ask.) For a IV / 582 the number is probably 45".
