We've jsut weighed our RV-9a. We have a Wilksch WAM-120 diesel engine, MT 2-blade CS prop, Bill Knott "big-foot" nose gear, flightline interiors complete upholstery kit, but no paint.
our finished W&B was 1043 lbs, 76.9 inches AOD.
(Average for an RV-9a from RVproject database is 77.17 inches AOD, 1085 lbs).
The only thing that made me unhappy was the "side to side" imbalance. We had 22 lbs difference between the left & right main. Is this unusual or would anybody like to tell me how "well balanced" their RV is? It's not the Scales - the first thing we did was to check the side-to-side level of the plane and swap the pads over.
