Default IPAD App for weight and balance

Fellow RVers,

I have foreflight on my IPAD/Iphone and love it. I am looking for an app for weight and balance that I could use for my RV-6A and Luscombe 8A. Any suggestions?

Search for Advanced Flight Systems on the iPad.

It may help for the 6, but not the Luscombe.

Default WnB

I use WnB Pro v2.1 by Angell Development
Input your aircraft data and use sliders or data fields to adjust loading for each station. Works well.

Do you have Numbers or another spreadsheet app? That's all I use; works great on iPhone as well as iPad.

Default Hilarious - Too Funny, I make myself laugh

So,

I read the subject line of this thread, "IPAD weight and balance" and thought to myself...

"Really, is there some RV driver out there that has an IPAD and wants to recalculate W&B because of adding the IPAD to the panel.....obsess much"



I get it now, looking for an IPAD APP that calculates W&B...too funny

I use FlightScale. It gives a nice graphical representation of the result.

I use CG Finder. The icon even has an RV on it.

Words, or at least getting them understood, is always a problem for Marines. We like pictures and dislike reading manuals, and certainly are not asked to write them.
