A preliminary weight and balance was performed to determine the best new battery location, and to give the warm fuzzies about other things. These numbers will change, since some things were missing when the weight was taken.
ITEM WEIGHT(pounds) ARM(mm) MOMENT
RIGHT MAIN WHEEL 268.5 450,00 120825.0 LEFT MAIN WHEEL 256.5 450,00 115425.0 NOSE WHEEL 198.0 -224,00 -44352.0
COMPUTED CG 723.0 265.4 191898.0
These numbers indicate the aircraft will be slightly nose heavy, and the best battery location is still aft of the pilot/passenger seats. It also suggests the final aircraft empty weight will be on the order of 750 pounds.
