Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides a quick reference for the weight and balance data of the RV-6 aircraft. It emphasizes that this chart is not a substitute for the complete information found in Section 14 of the Builder’s Manual.
Key Cautions:
- The Gross Weight is determined by the builder, who acts as the manufacturer.
- Aerobatic flight should not exceed 1375 lbs or occur outside the specified CG limits.
Specifications:
- Datum: 60 inches forward of the wing leading edge.
- Design C.G. Range: 15%-29% of wing chord or 68.7-76.8 inches aft of datum.
- Recommended Gross Weight: 1600 lbs.
- Aerobatic Gross Weight: 1375 lbs.
- Aerobatic CG Limit: 26.5% of chord or 75.3 inches aft of datum.
Arms:
- Fuel: 70.00 inches aft of datum.
- Pilot/Passenger: 87.40 inches aft of datum.
- Baggage: 117.00 inches aft of datum.
Procedure for Determining Empty CG:
- Level the aircraft longitudinally and laterally using the longerons in the cabin area as the reference.
- Weigh the airplane with the canopy closed, full oil, and empty fuel tanks.
- Enter the weights and distances from the datum (arm) in the provided chart.
- Calculate the moment by multiplying weight by arm.
- Determine the empty CG by dividing the total moment by the weight.
