Corky,Just making sure that you have a fuselage tank for fuel and no wing tank?That is why the -6?Also, if you can confirm this fuselage tank issue, I will compute most aftand most forward CG (worse case loading scenarios)and this could be noted onthe paperwork too. Have you proposed CG limits fore and aft?Chris________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: the -6 means you have a fuselage fuel tank?Chris, that is what I've been doing all afternoonFigured my forward with full fuel 16 gals, no pass and 100 lb pilot. Came to 1.382 aft of datum or 24%. Figured my rearward max with 185 lb pilot, 170 lb pass, full fuel 96 lbs and full baggage 6 lbs. Came to 19.42 aft of datum or 32%. I think this is in the park. Thanks for your interest Chris, I hope all goes well tomorning.Corky in beautiful La________________________________________________________________________________
