Oh well - I could only hope that at least one particular Royal had woken up to the scam.
Anyway, it just goes to show that Tracey's a careful pilot.
Not only does she have an instructor with her at all times - but those inconvenient 'parking dings' simply buff out each time.
On another level .. That pic now shows where Ewald puts the extra fuel tankage. One question answered.
Still leaves a question about the CG, though - that would seem to be a fair amount of mass forward of the normal.
Then, the Lycoming 680 itself is about 60lbs heavier than the Continental 670 - plus, there's the extra weight of that prop.
Tracey's make-up kit in the rear compartment MUST be weighty.
When you've finished running around with the baggage, Ewald, would you mind coming on here and answering a couple of purely technical questions?
