I spoke with Don Goetz at the factory several times over the last few days about my pig of a 360. The good news is that he said a significantly higher gross should not be problem with the additional power that I have in the plane. He suggested I be wary of hot days and avoid turbulence until fuel is burned off. I intend to avoid turbulence anyway... so this is good news. When I originally posted that I don't have a weight and balance problem, I really meant "I can solve the problem". But after talking to Don this morning, I am a little confused, and would like to get some feedback from the list. I informed Don that I had a small FORWARD CG problem when flying solo, with a full header and no wing fuel or baggage. There is no way to get an aft CG problem. But this information is based on what I thought to be the specified CG range - FS 24.5 to 30.3 - but that isn't what Don just told me. He said that, for the Mark II tail the CG was moved FORWARD 3 inches, from 24.5 to 27.3. Well, this works for me, but doesn't seem to be consistent with other information that I have read on the list. And I would think that most people would have a rather significant AFT CG problem with these revised numbers. I am a little embarrassed to call Don again until I do some more research - any thoughts???
