<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Good idea. I assume the following process. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Longitudinal CG: attach one end of the sling to the crankshaft and the other end to the tail. The plumb bob position will give you the longitudinal balance position. It appears that inverted will be better. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">For lateral CG: we need to attach to the wing tips close to the longitudinal CG. The plumb bob position will give the lateral balance. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Am I right?</FONT></P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Harry suspend the airplane from the ceiling with a sling and hang a plumbob from the same suspension point. The plumbob will point to the CG. First level the fuse and wing in the sling. This will give you the lateral and longitudinal CGs. This is fast, very accurate and allways ready for the next airplane. Nat Penton</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Can anyone help me with a way to balance an airplane with the C.G. at the front of the wing tube? How do you suspend OR support it?</DIV>
<DIV>Thank You, Harry </DIV>
