Jesse 

  

 1. empty: 895 lbs   empty C.G. STA 58.7

  

 I weighed the aircraft  before mounting the battery in order to calculate the optimum location. turned  out the optimum location was too far aft to be possible to mont. (or I  should have selected a heavier battery - battery is Gill G25)  Mounted the  battery just ahead of STA 158, but had to add anoter 8 lbs of weight at STA 158  to be able to get C.G within limits with a 165 lb pilot and full of  fuel.

  

 2. I use the actual  weight of the occupant

  

 3. zero

Emne: weights and  balances

 

 I am re-weighing my two place KIS -1 after moving the batteries forward by  30 inches.  I feel I have been too near the rear CG and  wanted more room at the rear.  I would like to compare with you guys  the following.

  

 1.  What are your empty weights and CG numbers?

  

 2.  Do you figure gross weight by using 170 lbs. per occupant or do  you use the actual weight of the occupant?

  

 3.  How much gas are you leaving home with two 200 lb. bodies aboard  and no luggage?

The continental IO-240-A  with Prince wooden prop. 

  

 I got the engine mount  from Tri-R, but there is good spacing between the engine and firewal  so it could have been shorter.
