Hahahahahahha, probably by about the tune of 450lbs. BTW, that was a total SWAG due to engine and misc peripherals, prop, hub, spinner, etc.

A calculated CG is for wimps.

Thought of the day:

Next time you find yourself waiting at the airport and have a hankering to grab some food.

Might think twice about ordering pizza when the “pizza guy” is picking his nose hairs and booger’s, then rolling them under the table.

Makes you kinda wonder what other toppings find their way into your pizza.








Yup, and the son got Pizza, hahahahaha

He did mention that this particular guy was quite grumpy.
