DETAILED CALCULATIONS OF EMPTY WEIGHT AND EMPTY WEIGHT CENTER OF
GRAVITY AS DELIVERED FROM FACTORY:
PROCEDURE:
1. Place each of the wheels on a scale with the tailwheel elevated to place the airplane in
approximately the flight attitude.
2. Place a level on the leveling mark and leveling lug on the bottom of the right wing near
the root. Adjust the height of the tailwheel until the aircraft is level.
3. Measure the following distances:
a.
Wheel base (L)
axle) to the main wheel weight point (center of axle).
L
b.
Main Wheel Station (
(center of axle) to
D
4.
Measure the weights at the following points:
a.
Right Main Wheel..................= ____________ Lbs.
b.
Left Main Wheel....….............= ____________ Lbs.
c.
Tailwheel, with tare =____________Lbs., minus
= net Tailwheel wt.
Total Weight as Weighted
