I'm trying to double check some paperwork that goes with a new to me plane. Does anyone have the moments for a plans built HR2 close at hand? Here is what I have so far, and what is missing.

Datum 80" fwd of leading edge
Mains 80.75"
Tail wheel 259.5"
Fuel 90"
Pilot ?
Copilot ?
Oil ?
Baggage ?

Limits
Fwd. 86.7"
Aft. 97.4"
 
W & B Datums

Here is what I have (S/N 002):

1. CG Range: 12 - 30% of wing chord, 87 to 97.4 inches aft of datum. (Datum @ 80" fwd of wing LE)

2. Oil (Included in MT Wt.): 49" aft of Datum

3. Pilot: 104.5" aft of Datum

4. Passenger: 134" aft of Datum

5. Main Baggage: 154" aft of Datum

6. Aft Baggage (if installed - shelf between F-408 & F-409): 183.6" aft of Datum

Hope this helps!

It does, thank you very much. Congrats on having such an early SN, that is really cool. I think mine is #11.
