The acceptable empty center of gravity range is 11.1 to 18.82 inches / 282-478 mm behind the leading
edge of wing.
Weighing:
The airplane is to be put on a level space on three scales or one scale with leveling blocks.
Make certain the plane is leveled using a bubble level put onto the tunnel between the seats.
The location of wheels is marked on the ground by a plumb.
The loaded center of gravity is located behind the leading edge of wing. Spanwise location of the datum is
not important, as the wings are rectangular and un-tapered.
Important:
While determining the loaded center of gravity the aircraft must be leveled.
A Weight and Balance Sheet supplied with each plane. The example of it is shown below.
