Weight and Balance

emailed you I got from Roger H. (Dragonmaster)

and added a few mods. You'll have to add the actual position measurements for the gear. Note the calculation of the nose wheel weight I added. For the 7A, Vans specifies a maximum of 375 lbs. Probably not an issue in the 9A, but you should check...

OOps - no email address in your profile. email me from my profile

Stan,

I have a set of scales (racing) that you can borrow if needed. They will probably be in the next hanger over from you this Saturday weighing the Ercoupe. Let me know if you need them. I also have a spread sheet that I have used on mine.
