 |
|
When I got my Kitfox I had the weight and balance information but they were on a sheet of yellow tablet paper. I was wondering if someone could send me an example of what the sheet on weight and balance that is carried in the airplane should look like. I would sure appreciate it.

Charles, if someone with a model I weight and balance form doesn't reply, let me know and I will get you the information I have for my Classic 4.
The form I use has "Adverse foreward" and Adverse aft" sections. My kitfox has a pannel tank. The CG of the panel tank is foreward of the datum. There is a computer program around to compute and print the form but it has a flaw. It is designed to move the CG foreward as fuel is burned. This works with Kitfox wing tanks but not with a panel tank. As fuel in the panel tank is burned the CG moves aft. I have a 'Brute force" method to deal with this but it becomes very confusing to try and explain. If you can get an actual clean copy of a Model I form the confusion factor will be much less.
Or...did I hear someone just mention they are a computer programer?
