Fellow Vanheads,
So got my weight and balance complete last night on my RV-4 Fastback and was quite happy with the results...I think! Curious how it compares with other RV-4, O-360, Hartzel CS prop Day/Night VFR combos out there. My W & B was done with a completely painted/finished airframe and all interior installed. I understand some do it pre-painted etc. Numbers are: 1034 lbs total empty weight with 48 lbs on the tail. My front seat is 3 1/2 inches further aft so was happy the tail empty weight was lighter than 'standard.'
If you've got comparison info, would like to hear!
