Hi Guys,
Sorry if I am opening an old topic, but I am really hoping that someone might be able to explain the following;
This is taken from an old post by Randy Lervold about a discussion he had with Van. I have removed the references specific to the RV-3 and left the other statements alone.
"Aerobatic gross weight for the RV-? (all models, all wings) does NOT include fuel in WING tanks. Note that any fuel in a fuselage tank WOULD be included in the Aerobatic gross."
Can someone with a better brain than myself please explain this, the reasoning was never clearly expanded in the original thread and I would love to understand why this is so?
Cheers
