Dave Patrick Super Cub C/G Location?
Hi guys,
I've worn out my eyes and fingers looking for ANY clues of the center of gravity location for a Dave Patrick Supr Cub I just purchased from a friend.
The airframe has flown in the past with a different engine, but I bought this airfame with a newly installed DLE 30 that has not flown in this Cub.
Would anyone know the CG location? I can't even find a Dave Patrick Super Cub manual anywhere on the internet.
Any help from you guys is always and graciously appreciated!

Thank you for the response Truck R.
I'll probably give that formula a try. I was wondering if anyone out there had a hard number from the LE that works well for them.

Hey, I just saw your old post about the CG location on the DPM PA-18. I have one of these models I got second hand and it's on my project list for completion. I got this plane unfinished and in pieces so I don't have any actual flight experience with this model that I can share. If you already have the manual, I'm telling you something you already know. However, if, like me, I had to hunt down a manual and have it copied. This quote is taken directly from the manual...
" CG (Center of Gravity); The Cub is sensitive to CG (Balance). Forward is better than aft. Take offs, etc, are easier with a FORWARD CG
IDEAL: 27% MAC (NO FUEL)
4 3/8" from LEADING EDGE OF WING"
I realize this info is probably too late for you but maybe it will help someone else down the road...
