Default Free RV Weight and Balance program

Hi Guys,

I have finally released the new RV weight and balance program. The program will work for all RV?s except for the RV3 and RV12. If there are any RV12 drivers that would like to have their aircraft included in the program, drop me an email and I will include it.

The program should be pretty straight forward on the operation, but I would suggest you also print the available 9 page Operation Manual on the web site. The beauty of the program is it will not only show you what your CG is at takeoff, but it will also tell you the CG at the arrival airport. Some owners may be surprised the change in the CG during your flight.

The program is absolutely free. This is my contribution to the RV community that I really enjoy.
You can go directly to this site to install the program. If you do get an error message trying to use the ?Run? feature, try using the ?Save? feature. That will download the file to your computer. You can then use that file to install the program.

Thanks Greg, this is a really nice thing to do. After downloading to my desktop and opening up the .exe file, the installation went ok and it said successful. But, when I clicked on the desktop icon I got the "cannot open because VB40032.dll file is not on my computer" I tried to reinstall and clicked on the repair option. Again, the message was successful, but program still won't open with same error message. Any idea what I should do?
Thanks,
Bob

Default fix error

Yes...My error.
I have reloaded the program to the web site. You will probably need to remove the program from your computer before attempting another install. On the Start button under the Nwacaptain program, there is an uninstall procedure you can use.

Greg...

You did a great job. I wrote a program myself. But this is much better and easier to handle.

Greg

Thank you very much for making your W & B program available. It works amazingly well! Is there any way to load it onto an IPAD?

Thanks again,

John
