Hi Jeff,

 

Happy to hear that you are getting close to flying.

My L4P is heavy and with an Aft CG. As some of you know I have everything on board you can get. These are my numbers for N6XE.

Max. Aft CG per factory is 94%. Original documented Gross wt. #3400= 91.9%. This was without upholstery and some avionics. After completion of all installations weighing in at #3509= 92.4% with Full 105 gal. and two 200 lb. folks in the front seats. If I put and additional #100 lbs in the baggage it would calculate at #3609= 93.7% or Max aft CG.

I also have the 4 blade MT prop which is about 40 lbs lighter than the Hartzell, which would help the CG but hurt the Gross Wt.

 

Disclaimer: I won't admit to flying it at the Max Aft CG.
