Weight-Shift Control Weight-shift control is a category of powered aircraft, such as an ultralight trike, with a pivoting wing and fuselage that is only controllable in pitch and roll through the change of the center of gravity (i.e., Small Single-Engine) Category B: Between 91 and 120 knots. no control surfaces).

There’s even an alert for weight and balance when your center of gravity is out of limits. The alert will only sound once every 60 seconds and is automatically disabled if groundspeed is less than 40 knots. The alert is only triggered when groundspeed is above 40 knots or the connected device does not have a GPS fix.

In contrast to a control tower, an FSS is not responsible for giving instructions or clearances to aircraft. CG Center of Gravity For any given body, the CG is the average position of the weight distribution of an object. ATIS recordings are updated periodically or when there is a significant change in the information.

We routinely taxi at 1200 rpm due to the low spray…[we] can cruise at 10 knots” in displacement mode, something a Goose can’t do. Early on a speed restriction of 130 knots was applied as a flutter issue. This was resolved on the kit version and led to cruising at 50% power and 120 knots, which proved to be the Gweduck’s sweet spot.
