Ipad weight and balance calculator
 
Would like to ask if anyone is using an iPad app for weight and balance calculations for an RV-6A? If so which one(s) works best.

I just made a simple spreadsheet in Numbers that computes all the relevant data plus max load factor along with stall and corner speeds for the resultant weight.

WnB Pro. Quick and easy.

Avplan
 
I use Avplan which has a nice WnB feature built in.

I'll take a look at those, thanks!

FltPlanGo has the RV6A, RV7 and RV10 W&B in it's database. And the app is free.

:cool:

Foreflight Pro includes weight and balance. If you have your actual data, it is easy to set up and seems very accurate. Easy to use too.

Seems to have the features and it's what I've been using.

I tried setting up ForeFlight W&B for my -7 but keep getting an error stating the aft cg limit needs to be behind the forward limit (which it is). I can't get past that error. Care to share the data you entered?
