Subject: C31xr Center of Balance
Author: JRivamonte@aol.com <JRivamonte@aol.com>

My center of balance is some 9 inches behind the manual balance point. Thats about 1 inch in front of element 7. The boom plate therefore forces an approximately 9 inch error on the required mast position - the antenna is reflector side heavy . Any suggestions - add weight or ignore. The resultant boom truss error (because its mounted on the mast) without equalizing turnbuckles pulls up more on the short side. Any suggestions - mod truss cable or ignore. Yes I've checked and all element are in their proper positions. Thanks all.
