Brief Description: Weight and balance calculations
Got the weight and balance calculations out the way today. All up weight 1079 with no fuel, C of G 79.36 inches, well chuffed ! This means full fuel two 180 lb people and 100 lbs of baggage will still be in limits. At the other end of the scale a 121 lb pilot no fuel and 100 lb baggage is also well within limits. I used a company called Plane weighs who sent a really great guy called Carl who breezed through the whole process in a couple of hours for £170 plus vat, Its just not worth trying to do it yourself for that price, and you get a professional bound weight and balance report.
