Boli,
Mine weighs 40 pounds without fuel in the main tank and a full UAT. Haven't weighed it with fuel. I have all of the equipment installed as far forward as possible and did not have to add nose weight to hit the CG. The main fuel tank is on the CG so there is no change in CG during flight. Not sure on the measurements of the Tucano but the PC-21 has a wing span of 90 inches and a fuse length of 112 inches.
