• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Hi! I'm building a very stock S1-SS.

Does anyone have a spreadsheet (or generic paperwork) that will give me a head start on calculating the CG? I'm wanting to see what happens with various props and various battery weights.

I always create spreadsheets for this purpose as everything I've done thus far has been "one of a kind" and mostly from scratch..... but since I'm finally doing something NORMAL, I figure that someone has GOT to have something that will gimme a head start.

The spreadsheet from my first Pitts is more trouble than it's worth. Waaaaaay to many modifications.... wings moved, seat moved, gear moved......

Preciate it!

Kim
