Arrived early to clean-up the hangar and prepare for weighing the planes (Gordon & mine) ... except I needed to drain the slush fuel from the tanks. (2 gals on one side and 3 gals on the other).
Set up the bucket, drain and ground wires - Flipped the Boost ON and measured the results. four and a half gallons in the gas can - of the five gallons that was put in originally. So the unuseable is 0.5 gals total, or ONE QT per tank. Measurement based on fuel pickup and boost pump effectiveness at pumping (not on tank drain).
Ready to weigh the plane. PS: Note - the equipment bay cover WAS on the plane at weigh-in time.
Total 1,051 lbs, N=250, L=397, and R=404 ... with an Empty Wt CG of 71.0" from datum, (datum is 60" forward of the Leading Edge of the wing). So Empty CG is 11.0" from LE.
