Probably should have done this in the RV-4 thread but wanted as much input as possible.
Question 1. When doing a weight and balance on an RV-4 what do you level? The top rail of the cocpit? Or, some other measurement?
Question 2. If weighing the plane with full fuel, does anyone have a spreadsheet with computations to figure the empty weight on each main and tailwheel? I know that it can be done by calculation because we have the arm measurement of each of these locations. But, if someone else has developed the calculations it would save me some time. Thanks everyone in advance for your help.
