Hi group
Our EAA chapter (326) has very accurate scales for members.
I feel comfortable with my project's CG but I am still
going to do the weighing and calculation again. I bought
a new battery which is lighter but can slide forward
another 3/4". So I don't expect a lot of change. It
is time to do a condition inspection so new calculations
will be better, IMHO.
I am planning to do it with a known quantity of gasoline
in each tanks. I have done the weighing with the tanks
empty before; does not seem reasonable to drain all the
gas as the tanks are so close to the CG and there is
some hazard in draining tanks.
Someone gave me a copy of a spread sheet program but
it is in an old computer. The old one had a small
problem anyway.
I think it is time I buy one. How do I do that? I don't
have spread sheet software.
Thank you for any comments.
Bruce Hughes
