Low wing upside down
by: Matt

Hi Gauteng,

This page explains how to check the center of gravity.

Airplane weight and balance

It is easier to balance a low wing airplane upside down. This is only because it will be more stable in your balancing device.

A high wing airplane is more stable in the upright position in your balancing device.

This is the only difference really.

I hope this helps,

Matt
