Byron Pitts question
Hey Guys,
I'm "re-engining" an old Byrons pitts, and was hoping someone had the CG measurments handy. Been doing some searching, but not much has come up. Any help is truly appreciated. Cheers Gerg |

Re: Byron Pitts question
All the S1 and S2 Pitts I ever had I balanced on the leading edge of the lower wing.. Not sure that works on the Byron.. MIght look and see where the Great Planes S1 balanced..

Re: Byron Pitts question
Mr. Godfrey said it.
In 86 I left a pair of large Vice-Grips in my Byron Pitts and found them in the rear of the plane upon landing. Did great lomcevaks. I think you'll be fine on the first few flights no matter where you put the C.G.

Re: Byron Pitts question
Just make absolutely certain your fuel system is beyond bulletproof. Gasoline and a Byron Pitts doesn't work out very well....

Re: Byron Pitts question
Yah,
That crossed my mind too. It has flown it's whole life on a G38, so I figure if I leave everything where it is I shouldn't have any problems. |

Re: Byron Pitts question
Byron`s owners manual says the CG should be 1/2 to 1in ahead of the leading edge of the lower wing.
