Sorry for any confusion I may have caused - and thanks to Andy for
clarifying the position on this (and cowlings etc).
When I said "...Put your a/c weights & distances ..." I intended that to
include cg range data, too.
This is not real data - I think it came from a very early Club Newsletter
article on W & B and is still waiting (2 yrs+?) for my own data to go into
it.
All figures in there are purely hypothetical and should be replaced with
(your own) real data.
It is the responsibility of the pilot in command to determine weight and
balance (and airworthiness) of aircraft before any flight.
User assumes all responsibility to verify accuracy and limits of the
particular aircraft and loading conditions.
Your home is at risk if you do not keep up payments on a mortgage or other
loan secured against it.
Apologies again.
