Calculation of Empty Weight and Balance

5/12/2003 Formula:
{(Wt) (D1) / (Wm) + (Wt)} - D2 = C.G.

Variables:
Wt: D1: Wm: D2: Weight of Tailwheel Distance from Mailwheels centerline to Tailwheel centerline (measured along ground from plumb bobs dropped from axle centers with aircraft leveled). Weight of Mainwheels Distance from Wing leading edge (Datum) to Mainwheels centerline.

Variable Results:
Wt: D1: Wm: D2: 86 lbs. 197.375" 1278 lbs. -1" (negative number because axle is aft of axle)

Formula Solution:
{(86) (197.375) / (1278) + (86)} - (-1) = C.G. {16974.25/1364} + 1 = C.G. 12.44 + 1 = C.G. 13.44 = C.G.
