Yay! I'm glad they were found. They have quite a story to tell now I'll wager.
From the Library of Congress. The Rock Island Argus and Daily Union., January 06, 1921.
Things that I should not know...Yeah- on smaller planes balance is important. They used to actually have 50 lb bags of ballast that they would move around the cargo hold to balance it out (probably still do?) It's not so much that it will crash- but for it to maintain a level flight (and improve efficiency and handling) the center of gravity needs to be balanced for the wings to function as intended. Smaller aircraft= less forgiving. But I seem to recall that there are scales in the landing gear that help them know when they are balanced. I actually found a diagram showing the idea. You can imagine what happens if you put my seeing eye elephant behind the rear set of seats and it's support emu at the front... To put it another way, Kathy needs to sit up front while George sits at the rear to keep that narrow band of balance in the correct place. And they may need to jettison the baggage in the diagram with only 375 HP to get them airborne. I may ask one of they guys I know if the pilot can feel it when a Human Hippo moves from the front to the rear to purge last night's XL pizza in mid flight. I bet they probably can on a small enough plane.
COG is pretty important:https://youtu.be/lksDISvCmNIhttps://youtu.be/KCCy-ojQMcESince we would have to wait approximately 97 years for Rix to get around to that I went ahead and posted some "Sneak-Peak" vidya for everyone.-p

An evil commie faggot would think that. You really cannot read and comprehend can you? I think the hobo elite stole your edimifcayshun.Maybe you are just an honorary Doctard?I find honorary Doctorates so gauche...-pediot: Apogees, Rix! I love this thread.

It is so cute how you follow me around like a puppy...We should hang out in real life sometime! You bring the music!I'll bring the beer and a special surprise for you, buddy.-p
I don’t drink beer and have zero interest in watching you make yourself stupider than you already are (which is pretty stupid).

I'm enjoying the hog story and I feel the newspaper people are too.
