Weight and balance

Well I knocked out my weight and balance and she's a bit heavy just like me.  Here are the numbers and keep in mind that I have about 50# of added tires, 35# of extra motor, 10# extra suspension system, and other extras like fuel pump, ads-b unit, iLevil, 2x iPads, over 200 wires, and full set of instrument probes, fishing rod tube in back,  and I built the turtledeck out of 1/8" plexiglass.  So, I was actually surprised it didn't reach 1200# empty!

Public math is always nice...please let me know if I screwed anything up.

You will notice that I have to go 70# over max gross weight to reach the aft CG limit of 17.5"

However, realistically fat pilot and passenger will use up a lot of the useful load.

Too early in the day for me to do math, but that O-360 should get it off of the ground just like a Super Cub - Or Better!   :BC:  EDMO
