Help with bad CG on Fear Factor
« on: August 11, 2006, 03:27:25 AM »
A buddy bought a Fear Factor with the CG at 90deg to the right of the pin/mb line. Something like this.

Pin....cg    (Pin is 2" from cg)
.      
.
.
.
.
.
MB

I suggested he put the pin below his fingers, MB below the thumb and cg near the midline. Pin 2" out and top is about 3 oz.  
Track isn't that high so I don't think low pin would be a problem.

Is this an OK layout? Any other ideas? Pin would be about 4 1/2" from PAP.

CG is just a weight hole indicator...

...layout the ball and just make sure to weight it prior to drilling to determine if the ball go be made legal easily.

I do like your idea though...but still weigh it first.
