Need W&B Chart

Post by WWhunter »

I just got my Champ put on Floats and I am in need of some type of graph for the weight and balance. I need this for my checkride.

The Champ is a 7AC-CONV with an 0-235.

I do not think you will find a factory graph but you can use the TC data sheet to get the info.

Not sure what a 7AC-CONV on floats with O-235 engine is called, S7CCM

Should have Weight & Balance data from when floats where added, start with that.

Check page 4.

Now it will give you a forward CG limit **.* inches and a rearward CG Limit **.* inches.

Now back to basics:

Keith, here's an online W&B calculator, if that will help. I think the chart would be a simple square, although I've never seen one for a Champ.
