So... after my really bad placing at the World Soaring Masters (80th out
of 91), coupled with the relative performance of my ship as compared to
the other JW Onyxes I saw, I went home and checked everything out on my
JW Onyx. I rechecked the CG and found that I was way, way, waaaaaay
off. The CG is supposed to be about 108-112mm from the leading edge. I
was REALLY forward of that. Not sure how that happened. Who knows.
Anyway - and Gordy will be very happy to hear this - I took 1.875 oz of
lead out of the nose and it now balances around 110mm.
I'll be at the field tonight with my "new" plane.
Ed - I need another spool of line for that winch, and I've got your box
of shirts in my car!
