What numbers are you six drivers seeing for W&B. I purchased a flying 6A with an O-320, CS prop, vacuum pump, vacuum attitude indicator and directional gyro. It has a nice paint job and interior.
The numbers are:
Right Main 403
Left Main 420
Nose wheel 307
Are these in line with what others have seen?

When I bought my 6A, O-360 with fixed pitch prop, it weighed 1107. I don't remember what the individual weights were. The records are buried somewhere.

L=397, R=380, N=348 for a total of 1125. IO-360 and CS prop with full panel and spare battery on the firewall. A tad heavy but the pilot would have to be under 80# and out of fuel to exceed the forward CG... Exceeding the aft CG is only possible if you also exceed the weight limit.
