Weight & Balance

I apologize if this is out there somewhere and I just can't find it. I'm looking for some information on the weight & balance on the RV-10. The gross and expected empty weights are in the specs, but I'm wondering about specifics such as how big can the rear seat passengers be?. Can you really get 4 normal sized adults and some baggage and stay within the CG range? I've found spreadsheets for some of the other RV models, but not the 10.

Thanks.

Hi Ken. I'll send you mine, but I just sent it to Kahuna, and so I think he is sending it to you. Yes, I have put 4 full size adults in it, and flown 7.5 hours in one day. The airplane flew wonderfully, and there weren't any complaints on the comfort factor.

There's currently only one RV-10 listed in there, Vic Syracuse's. Hopefully as more are completed people will help populate the database for everybody's reference. The "averaging" function is pretty neat imho.

Thanks Dan. I had forgotten that was on your website. There's just so much good stuff there it's hard to remember sometimes. I think the spreadsheet from Kahuna/Vic will be just what the doctor ordered.
