    Default Empty C of G SS7

    Hello everyone. I am starting to contemplate W&B as I try to position things in the airplane. From what I understand with the Kitfox, everything you add to the plane basically puts the C of G aft. It would be very helpful if a few people could post their empty weight, prop and engine combo, tri or tailwheel, and the empty weight C of G.

    Has anyone tried to get the C of G as far forward as possible with min fuel and one person on board? Does anyone have their aircraft at the forward limit?

    The reason I am asking is Jiott had a thread where he was loaded to 1320# and already at 16". I am planning on using the full 1550# and I want to be limited as little as possible by being too far aft.

    Let me know, I would be interested to see what the average ends up being.
