RV-14 SAMPLE
RV-14 SAMPLE
Van's Aircraft has provided sample weight and balance documents for the RV-14 and RV-14A models as of January 7, 2016. These documents are intended as examples only and should not be used as definitive guides for individual aircraft.
The document emphasizes that arms and weights will vary between aircraft, necessitating individual calculations. Builders are advised to refer to the RV-14 and RV-14A Weight and Balance Data Quick Reference files available on Van's Aircraft downloads page for precise calculations.
For rough estimations of component locations within the aircraft, builders can use the 1:1 scale 3-view drawings available on the downloads page. For taildragger aircraft, specific locations such as "AFT" or "TAILWHEEL" should be used to measure the aft weight.
Builders are encouraged to perform their own weight and balance calculations using the provided resources to ensure accuracy and safety. The sample documents should not replace personalized calculations.
