/diy/ - Do It Yourself

did some refreshing and this is actually correct. pic related, the lines through A shif to the right where they intersect the axis where the moment is zero (no pitching force) as the CG moves to the back, here expressed as l_a/c increasing (wordt groter). not the best quality but i didn't make the course
you can compensate obviously with the elevator but like i said earlier it was clearly maxed out
so by making it noseheavy the lift coefficient at M=0 would have been a lot lower than it should be, meaning they needed even more speed, and most likely also meant a significantly lower lift/drag ratio and glide angle
get your CG right, kids
