I used the cold time to put her on the scales. Came out pretty heavy with 1145 epmty and empty CoG 91.7 aft. Seems that the former owner was a bit generous with paint during the recovering process. Additional weight comes from the muffler (18-20 ibs) and the smoke installation. Produced a chart for my typical loading situations. With two people I am out of the dessign envelopes as given by aviat.
First way to come back into the envelopes is to remove the Weight from Muffler and Smoke around 40 ibs.
Second way could be to use an extended envelope which I found on musclebiplanes.org. But I could't find any Informations on the design criteria used to create the extended envelope. Are there any informations out there ?
Thanks
Mike
