I'm working on the spreadsheet for weight and balance (RV-7A) and had a question for you folks.
I'm wanting to distinguish between useable and non-usable fuel, so that the spreadsheet does NOT allow the fuel amount to dip below the non-usable amount. The full capacity is 42 gallons, but how much of that is usable? How much is left in your tank when the engine stops?
I plan on determining this for my own aircraft, but am simply putting a skeleton spreadsheet together at this point and was wondering about all your experiences. This is also a way for me to check my own plane against the prevailing "normalcy".
Thanks.
