Hi guys...
have searched, asked a couple of my RV building/owner buddies - to no avail...
Has anyone ever build a spreadsheet or application model for RV's (even better if it's a 10!) to determine the W&B characteristics of a particular build BEFORE you start?
So for example, what would happen if I build standard QB RV10 kit, with (say) Titan R series (hehe), threw in a dual alternator, few other things in the engine bay, xyz avionics, abc seats, oxy up the back at point xyz... How would that impact the load characteristics once she is built? No good or a bit fine? OK - what would happen if I moved the battery forward?
Get what I am getting at? Last thing I want is to build the girl and the CofG is way aft!!!! I'd rather plan it out first and make decisions on where things will need to be for optimal CofG....
Anyone done that?
Thx
