Default RV6A Weight & Balance excel???

Does anyone have a W&B fill in excel form, or similar they could share?

Any particular tips/tricks for doing a W&B on a 6A?

I did read an interesting thread talking about placing the main gear on a slippery service of some sort to alleviate "side load" when on the scale...

Thanks Forum!

Doug

I just rolled mine up a ramp to the level of the scale. Being taildragger, flight and ground attitudes were done just to see the difference. I used the Vans form for data collection and made simple SS using the same format as Vans. The forms were in the builders instruction manual.

I have a spreadsheet as well, I can e-mail. Just did my W7B a few weeks ago. Happy to talk as well if you like.
