Subject: Update - Weight and balance database

One update, a few people have sent me their information but I realized we
need a standard way of specifying CG... So if you'd give it to me as inches
from the "aft datum" (whatever that is)... This should the way the envelope
was developed anyway, so each should know that value.

Thanks,
Alan



I'm wondering if anyone has put together a weight and balance database for
Legacy's.  If not I'd volunteer to create one in excel.

If it hasn't been created, send me the follow... Just as well sent to my
private email address aadamson@highrf.com  Would be nice to know the
following for it.

Model (no reason this can't be done for 320/60's, Legacy's, ES's, IV's, etc)
N number
Engine (brand, model)
HP
Propeller (brand, model)
Empty CG (in inches)
Empty weight
Gross weight
Useful load (without fuel)
Fuel (in gallons)
Payload (this will be calced from useful - fuel * 6)
Hydraulic pump location
Battery(s) location
Comments (e.g. major modifications, or major weight location deviation from
standard suggested locations)

Did I miss anything of significance.  All of this will help those of us
building to anticipate locations of things like batteries, etc to get the CG
where we need it.
