REFLECTOR: empty w&b elite FG 173/lw

[Glenn Babcock]

Yes, the MT is heavier. 

An MTV-12 weighs 43 lbs. per their website, plus the weight of the governor. 

An IVO Magnum in-flight adjustable weighs 26.7 lbs. according to their website. 

Regards,

Glenn

I also talked to Scott Swing when I did my original W&B because I was confused (my CG was too far forward) and got the feedback that empty the cg should be out of the back (aft) limit.  I moved my battery to behind the whale tail to correct it.
