Mornin' all,
We weighed Brians -4 last night and it came in at 985 lbs...great. However, it is 1" forward of the forward CG limit empty and no fuel. With a 180 lb pilot and ten gallons of fuel, it is well within limits, about an inch behind the forward limit. Is this normal for a -4 with an Ed Sterba prop and the old, big clunky starter? He also has an Oddyssey battery on the firewall.
Thanks in advance,
Pierre
