Model iv tail weight Acme install

[Dusty]

I am looking to purchase an Acme stinger tail suspension and one of thier questions is of course the tail weight.
My example is 94 pounds. I am within cg but biased slightly to the rear. Just keen to know if this is normal.

I have searched this forum but can't find any info on this for the early models.

Kitfox iv 1200, 650 pound tare ,highwing cabane gear ,weight in tail for correct cg ,tail weight is measured in static position not rigging position
Is any one else running the Acme suspension/tail assembly.

Thoughts for/against?

Cheers
Dusty

I assume no one knows what their tail weight is ?

Apparently not. All I could think of when you said Acme was this.

Hi Dusty, It's to far and to long from my computer to my hangar. In that 300' I can forget quite a bit. Got to the hangar today with memory intact, and I have right at 90 LBS sitting on the tailwheel. That is with it sitting on the ground. For doing my W&B, I end up with 41 LBS. Hope that helps, JImChuk

Perfect. I am surprised how heavy on the tail a kitfox is. I can work with that .

Thanks
