OK=2C Ryan=2C I have got to call BS on this one. The location of the datum and moving anything in relationship to it is irrelevant. It is proper to say that to avoid the anteater look you might want to move the wing=2C but using the datum as a reason is incorrect. This is the big problem I have with the W&B project that was in the last newsletter. Rather than putting the datum at a fixed point=2C such as the firewall or propeller flange=2C the wing leading edge (a movable point) was used. Based on a fixed point=2C the information as to axle location and engine mount length would have been much more useful. As it stands=2C I do not see any use for the data as published.Gene RamboDate: Sun=2C 23 Jan 2011 09:51:53 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Brace cables=2C pulleys=2C wing supports
