Weight and balance and fuel considerations
For some reason I was plotting FS on the horizontal axis instead of Moment (X1000). Not sure if that is your problem, but the lines certainly looked similar. Rich T

Hi Troy, Your plot looks similar to my original ones, then Jay pointed out to me I was using the wrong axis and bingo came out they were spot on between the flags. My TriQ200 is around 760 Lbs empty.

Looking good Jim, If you have removed your vac system, you can save another few ounces by taking your Vac gauge out and fitting a grommet. :-) Rich T.

LS1 midspan hinge repair
So was the delamination on Michaels elevator TE possibly an indication that the hinge failed in flight and the tube was deteriorating? Is the torque tube kinked at all or cracked at the window ? Rich

LS1 midspan hinge repair
Thanks Jim Its on my schedule as an annual check item, along with greasing the hinges and checking the pins. I do the check looking for movement at the hinge as a confidence improver on the Pre-taxi.

So had Mike flown with this broken support and not realised, or had it broken on the ground ? Could the delam on the elevator have been caused by flexing in flight after it failed? On my walk around I
