Variable Adjustment –
The Center of Gravity Tubes each consist of the lower tube and the adjuster.
The adjuster is similar to a turnbuckle and turning the shaft results in
shortening or lengthening the entire Center of Gravity Tube. This is used to
maintain the desired thrust angle, carriage angle in flight and nose gear
position on takeoff and landing. Passenger and gas tank positions are inline
with center of gravity, thus have no effect center of gravity adjustments. |
