Hi Chris, I have a large battery (32 lbs) in the rear tail cone behind the first bulkhead (forget the FS station - I built it 35 years ago). Mike Dwyer Q200 YouTube Videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/FlyMeAirplane/playlists Q200 Website: http://goo.gl/V8IrJF

Re: W and B
Hi Chris,
Most Q200’s I know of don’t require extra weight in the tail. I have 15 lbs. pressure on the tail wheel in its normal stance.

On the Q200 with the continental does anyone use ballast in the tail. If so, how much? What are most people getting for tail weight? Still having fun------------------- Chris -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hi Chris,

Different people have tailwheels in different places (mine is on the nose), plus I think you have unconventionally located main gear, right? I would suggest you just try to get the empty CG between FS39 and FS40, and things should work out pretty well regardless of the gear placement. If you get this right you will probably not need to add ballast, but your mileage may vary. Cheers, Jay

Sounds great Kevin. Missed seeing you at your fling. Maybe we can reserve the homebuilder patio this year and have a social hour. I will look into that.

Probably not. Honestly it just doesn't feel like it's going to be itself. And I'm pretty exhausted in general from this year.

Re: Some Qs
Hi Tim, It is 3/16 on mine, but aware some have gone to 1/4. I have
been chewing over this as it seems a good idea. Good luck with your build. Rich T.

Hi Rich,
I’m pretty sure it is 3/16” , but being at home now I can’t double check. Plans say AN3 I believe. Not yet on to elevator controls proper, still doing aileron bits. Tim
