Any pics of the 3300 install?
I was wondering if anyone has done a weight and balance before and after painting. I would like to mount my battery in the tail cone before I paint. would like to know how much the paint changes the weight on the nose wheel.
Thanks! Oren
I am installing a Jabiru 3300
Hi Oren,
I waited until after 1st flight for paint so I did a W&B prior and after painting. My paint job was in the heavy category with primer, base coat and color coats. The paint job took 10 lbs off the nose wheel weight.
Keep us up-to-date on your Jab 3300 airplane. Judging from the number of hits on the related threads, there are a lot of people interested. This thread went off topic instantly to the engine install rather than paint weight.

Am I reading right that the paint added 15.7 pounds of total weight. Removing 9.3 pounds from nosewheel but adding 25 to main gear ?
If this is correct painting will definitely help my weight and balance.
Thanks! Oren

I went back over my records and that's what I come up with.
