REFLECTOR: WEIGHT & BALANCE

[Tom Martino]

I submitted a full W&B calculation and used a CG envelope that was
suggested to me by several Velocity flyers.  However, I never actually
saw the factory recommendations.  Since I am very close to first flight,
I am simply double-checking EVERYTHING - now that the inspection is over
and the heat is off.  As you know I am flying a hybrid - an Elite, RG,
Long Wing with an IO-540.  
 
Which envelope would you use on this plane Scott?

Hello Tom,
The info you seek is in the suggested Velocity POH.  What W&B info did
you present to the FAA/DAR when they did the inspection for your
airworthiness certificate?  Don't tell me they issued a certificate
without an official W&B?

	I have looked through every downloadable builder's manual on
Velocity's website and can't find any specific weight and balance
information.  I realize the we can set our own Max Gross Weight (within
reason) ... but certainly there must be a published CG envelope
somewhere.  Anyone have any ideas?
