Aft CG Testing - JellyBeanThorp

This video covers the build-up to as well as the heavy aft flight test of the airplane. We used ballast weight and a passenger (Colby Wallick) to move the weight and balance to this edge of the envelope.
This was after the series of pitot-static calibration flights and included the newly installed fuselage-mounted static port. Previous flights are linked below.
The build-up was flown over 4 flights that morning. Because the airplane had previously been through a phase one test program we could move much faster than normal. But we were able to get clean and dirty stalls at each CG. And with the cameras (and google earth) we could back out take-off and landing performance.
