Tail heavy?

...holding up the baggage sling...sorry. I have one wood and one metal...a "composite" baggage sling.

Tim,

Looking at your figures for Stumpy, (and looking at the excel form you sent me), you placed 12 for the weight of the main fuel tank, should be 72.24 lbs just like two 6 gallon wing tanks. I think you were thinking 12 gallons. That would throw him over gross when full up. Also, not sure about the baggage, 37 pounds max? I thought it was 50.

Re: Tail heavy?

If you look over on the right, 12 gallons equates to so many pounds....I would have to review the spreadsheet again to be sure...It looks like it should be 74 lbs, so maybe the spreadsheet was having an issue...or I made an error, yours looks good though. Tim

Hey Tim.

Once you look at it you will see the error. Thanks for looking mine over and I really appreciate the spread sheet.

My girl is much happier after her diet :-).....and thanks much Tim. Now If I could eliminate a few chicken fried steaks a month I could go with full fuel...
