Empty wieght and C of G
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:17 pm
My 0320 E2D Rebel empty weight came in at 975 lb. That's with a Sensenich metal prop, 850 tires, spring gear and fully finished interior. Empty weight center of gravity is 9.95". I did locate the battery in the fuselage just forward of elevator pulleys. Further aft than I was expecting but I was pleased with this as it works out for a nice fit on most aft and forward loading calculations. I did not cut back the firewall and am now I'm glad I listened to Wayne, Bob and others. First flight will be July 23. Thanks for all the help, everyone!
