[PSUBS-MAILIST] First Launch

[Joe Perkel]

Rick,<br/><br/>I have an accurate CAD model of a stock 350 hull and pods with assigned material densities. The software can make short work of determining changes in the longitudinal CG and what effects shifting the pods have. We would have to agree on a vertical datum, say the surface Edge of a hemihead for example. <br/><br/>As it lays now, the CG is right under the pilots butt, but it looks like George did not account accurately for the changes in buoyancy once launched. The trick would be trying to guess how far back to shift the CG. I can do this for you on my next group of days off if you'd like.<br/><br/>However, I like James idea of external movable weights as a better solution because you still have this 400 lb light condition to contend with anyway.<br/><br/>Joe<br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo!
