SR/Moose: Factory (manual) weight & balance

In the Chapter 26 SR-2500 weight and balance section, page 2, they show a
sample weight table. In this table, the factory has a sample fuel load of
30 gallons weighing in at 360 lbs! What kind of fuel weighs 12 lbs/gallon?
Maybe I'm missing something here-someone please let me know if I've
overlooked something.



They also show the baggage arm at 49" in that same sample weight table. I'm
assuming the 49" figure is based off the "Operational center of gravity"
which is calculated at 12.4" on the previous page (49 + 12.4 = 61.4"). The
baggage area moment is listed as 65.0" in a previous figure. As this 65 is
close to the 61.4" maybe this is what they are doing in the table?



Perhaps someone at the factory will see this and issue a corrected page /
table with better explanations in the technical support section of the
website.
