Sid has his main axle distance 17" aft of the stub wing leading edge, Joe has his 7" aft of the forward face of the main spar. Since the leading edge of the stub wing should 10.75" forward of the forward edge of the main spar they are essentially in the same position for a tri -gear. It seems to me the difference is other loading aft of the gear. According to Sid's w&b he is right in the middle of the range. I assume Joe's is the same since he flies in balance. Going to the folks that like physics, something doesn't compute. Moving the wheels aft would fix the ground imbalance but would move the C.G. a little aft. My thoughts, Larry Bell
