CAUTION! Each newly installed part or appliance must be registered in the upper table. Also,
new total weight and lever arm of CG values must be entered and position of CG re-determined.
Furthermore, the moment must be recalculated. This is rather easy to do. First multiply the new
part’s weight by it’s lever arm measured from the reference point (wing’s leading edge). Then sum
up all moments and divide the sum by the new total weight.
WARNING! The aircraft's in-flight safe center of gravity position ranges between 10 7/16'' (265
mm) and 14 21/64'' (364 mm) aft of datum and is not critically affected by cockpit crew weight.
WARNING! Absolute safe measure for the amount of luggage is 22 lbs (10 kg). The actual
amount of luggage you can safely transport depends on the center of gravity of empty aircraft.
