1. My Coupe has had a McCauly metal prop on it since 1950, and does not have any extra weights in the tail. My friends and I just rebuilt another Coupe which also has had a metal prop since the 1950's and it also has no weights in the tail. Bring your plane to a good shop and have them weigh the plane and find where it's actual CG falls before you add weights anywhere. 2. We removed all of the grounding straps from my aileron hinges, rudder hinges and elevator hinge. We don't fly fast enough to build up static electricity. 3. I also don't know where you can look up AD's on the internet, but any IA will have them on his/her microfiches (or, if high tech, on CD ROM).
