Hi Stefan,

If you look at the pilots handbook.pdf within the docs folder of the Ask-13 download, there's various diagrams showing the CoG and centre of lift positions and the dimensions froma reference point. This being the front spar whch is also equal to the rear pilots position...

I'd like someone to do some maths and determine the location of the CoG (based on 2 pilots) and the cente of lift and thus the static margin and if the centre of lift is infront or behind the CoG...

Yes I've done this myself but would like some cross checking on it..

Regards

Simon

Sorry, but the page you were trying to view does not exist.

correct file here: http://learnandfly.com/ask-13-flight-manual/   :)

and Manual is entirely in English, so what should I translate it? ???

In addition, Page-18 is very bad copies the the some numbers are unreadable. =|

http://planeur-bailleau.org/docs/Manuels%20de%20vol/ASK_13.pdf

It's not a simple translation I need but a confirmation of where I'm working out the CoG of the plane to be under a 2 man situation.

It might be that I have to contact a gliding club with regards this plane..

I honestly do not know what you do not understand.
So if I have understood correctly, then there is no fixed number. For whatever reason.
It could most probably be because the pilot has an adjustable seat, or the glider has the Different
empty weight. The MIN and MAX numbers are already entered in table, so you need not to be expected.
As an an example:

GL = 280kp
min-490mm
max-545mm

So, difference - 55/2 = 27.5 (with MIN+MAX)

R=CoG

In these new documentaries the table has been extended even to 2 (330-340) further figures.

BR,
Stefan

p.s. see page-10 & 11...

Not able to access my home computer. Is ridge lift from wind a thing now?

I don't think ridge lift as it's more about an upward moving airstream following deflection...

however.... if we talk about the basics of ridge lift there might be a solution especially as there's google maps integral to the application.

So Stefan... from the diagrams you're saying the CoG is min 490, max 545mm towards the tail measure from the front wing spar ?

trust me we're getting there..

Simon, according to the drawing (ASK-13 Balancing sheet) - YES.
So, G1 to G2, as GL is in the case = empty weight.
In the page -10/11 is told about it. Therefore, if you want to have
an absolute point-0(CoG), you must still be divided by 2, the 2-figures.
I see it so ... :)

So what are you guys looking for? The best possible CoG for the particular plane? or just the allowed "area"?

Actually what I was looking for was confirmation that I was reading the diagram correctly...

Yes it's a simple diagram, however I was reading it with a closed mind (not good) and had convinced myself that the diagram had to be wrong... I know how insane is that, a diagram over 30 years old and I was convinced I was the first person to find the obvious error in it.

Anyway the conformation that I was reading it correctly and a little holiday reading has convinced me that it is possible for the centre of left to be before the CoG and for the h-stabs to have a -2 degree angle.
