FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10" BACK="#ffffff">If someone knows the CG
location of the PL Prod Lazulite, I would like to know it. I tried to
use a translator to decipher the instruction set. However, if I'm
correct, the French word for "wing-tube" (Cle') is translated to English as
"Key." Thus, the CG would be 20 mm aft of the "Axis of the Key."
The other CG reference seems to be from the wing Leading Edge as 190
MM. However, the translation is "behind attack edge." Either
way, the 20 mm behind the center of the wing tube, or 190 from the LE of the
wing seam to be close (due to sanding, they do differ a little with the 20
mm measurement resulting in a slightly more aft CG location.).</FONT><FONT

FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10" BACK="#ffffff">Of course, a simple diagram
with any of these numbers would have solved the problem. However, the
only reference to "centre de gravite" is on a picture (taken from an angle)
showing the stab/wing aligned with masking tape from the stab tips to the
wing tips. There are no "CG" mark locations on any of the
photos. *Note: "centre de gravite" translates directly to
"center of seriousness."</FONT><FONT lang=0
