D.VII w&b

[baldeagle]

Here's the W&B info from the D.VII at the Lafayette Foundation in Colorado, Ranger powered:
-----------------------------------------------------------

Right main wheel 777.0# 59.25" arm 46037 moment

Left main wheel 766.5# 59.25" arm 45415 moment

Tailwheel 79.5# 272.5"arm 21664 moment

Total 1623.0# 113116momment

empty cg 69.69"

Datum: top cockpit longeron, engine propeller flange

useful load 929.0#

cg Range 72" - 77"
------------------------------------------------------
If the relationship between the wheels and the wings is similar to the other aircraft (especially the Blue Max D.VII) then the CG range is very similar also, +3" to +8" from the leading edge of the bottom wing. This aircraft was built in the 1970s I think, possibly from the Flight drawings?
