    thank you for your comments and time. i reckon i'll spend a day with some scales and a tape rule to confirm things. the weather has turned to snot again anyway so no flying to be had!

    hello, thanks for taking interest. i may be providing evidence for my own ignorance here but... dont you need the pilot position before carrying out the w&b? to establish the moment? out of interest, at which point did you measure your 67"? where the seat back joins the floor? did you measure back from the instrument panel, the canard bulkhead or forward from the wing join? i have no plans to compare to so any help is appreciated. regards...

    hello ) i just posted in the coffee shop, but have a query about my Cozy 3. the handbook (translated from Long-Ez?) gives two datums for pilot. the first is the same as LE @ 59" aft of datum, the second is in the diagram on pg38 for CG measurements and shows at 65" aft of datum. this seems critical as at 59" the flight box cannot be maintained with max front seats and changing fuel. any thoughts appreciated J

    Hi all. Newbie Cozy driver and forum member!! so, i've got this Cozy 3 in the UK. Looks fab, flies better ) but i have an 'issue' with calculating CG. the owners manual quotes 2 datum points for the pilot station. the first is 59" aft of datum in the text and table (which corresponds to the Long-Ez datum point) the second is 65" aft of datum using the scaled half diagram on pg38. if i run the numbers using the 59" it doesn't work! the pilots position measures at 65-67" in the airframe. can anyone shed any light on this anomaly?? was there a typo when translating the Long-Ez manual for the Cozy originally?? am happy to accept email to jamie@jforeman.co.uk thanks all, J
