Brief Description: Flight 58 - 120 lbs ballast, 1086 lbs gross
|
|
0.9 flight time, 9x around pattern. Doing all wheel landings. Most "touches" I didn't bring the tailwheel down. Reset flaps from 20 to 10 and kept the tail up. One landing bounced and I recovered it into a 3 point. Had only done a few flaps 10 takeoffs prior to this, so on one today I forgot to raise flaps at 100mph and cruised around the pattern at 110, feeling the drag. Filled up prior to flight, 8 gallons added. Weight - 325 in the seat, 99 in the tank, 662 empty = 1086 gross, at station 66.09". Figuring ~4 gallons burned, on shut down, 1062 gross and 66.55" cg. Limits are 63.8 (most forwards) to 70.3 (most aft). With the 3300 engine, it's practically impossible to get to the forwards limit (135 lbs or lighter pilot and full fuel), and very difficult to get to the aft.
