Have posted this before but still looking for guidance. Have 1981 Skybolt. Was second built by the builder and overall happy with the babe. Concerned about possible aft cg but now thinking to re-calculate using different datum. Have used leading edge of lower wing since that's was designed used. Weighed aircraft twice from different facilities so that's not a question. Nose does drop distinctly on power on or off stalls so thinking maybe to use different datum. If you have a suggestion please don't hesitate to talk down to me. Keep it simple. Thanks, Joe O'Neill aka Rosie

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
