Shaun Walsh Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 I have inherited a nicely built Colibri from the estate of a late fellow club member. It appears to be from the Peter Miller plan which I have downloaded from Outerzone. Unfortunately I cannot find CoG and control throw information, can anyone help please?

EvilC57 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 (edited) If no one comes forward with a plan, maybe give this CG calculator a go for the CofG. Edited September 29 by EvilC57 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I have used cgCalc but it's always useful to have the opinion of someone who's flown the model and it doesn't help with the control throws.

EvilC57 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 (edited) Actually I’ve just remembered I built (I think) this version of the Colibri back in about 2008, but can’t remember what happened to either the model or the plan. If I manage to find the plan, or the associated article I’ll come back to you with the info… Edited September 29 by EvilC57 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven S Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 The September, 2022 free plan was of the 48' Max Brugger Colibri. The C of G is 75mm back of the leading edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Shaun, there is another Colibri plan on Outerzone, a 71" version from RCM plans. The COG on that plan is shown as 25% of chord. This is a snaphot of the wing plan. You can, of course, ask the designer on this very forum what he recommends! GDB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
