Hi Keith

I read your weight on wheels method with interest, I used to be involved car racing when we did corner weights.

As my models are larger than the two fingers method I was wondering if you would be prepared to send me your spreadsheet, It will be for my use only! currently I suspend the model and use a plumb bob to get the c of g. I would prefer a method that is calculated from known weights

No offense taken if you want to not send the sheet

Thanks Ian
Send me your email address via PM and I will ship a copy off to you, no problem. It may need a little explanation, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have once you get it.

I bought three baby scales at the local Babies R Us for a relatively modest investment and it makes doing W&B a breeze on heavy airplanes. I am starting a collection of data sheets for various aircraft.
