CG

Good evening all!
Just weighed my RV7A for upcoming DAR inspection. Standard set up, IO-360 M1B, Hartzell 2 blade constant speed. Rt.wheel 431, Lt. wheel 440, nose 284. Empty CG pretty basic but how do I figure most forward CG, most aft CG?
Thanks!
 
The EAA form asks you to come up with sample loadings that place the cg at forward, and again aft, limits. The idea is so you have a practical idea how easy, or hard, it is to exceed limits.
 
Also Remember Max NW Weight

You might want to join in on this thread, where several of these considerations are discussed. Since it’s a 7A, don’t forget to work out some sample WB’s that stay within the limits of the nose wheel weight chart.
