Why re-weight it? If you know the weight of the oil and the arm of
the oil sump, just do the math. IMHO.

I did forget to fill it up with oil before I weighed, however, so I'll have to
redo my weighing after I do that.

sheet calculates a number of common scenarios and allows for the user-entering
of various parameters such as pilot weight and plane weights as well as the
various arms. Its setup for an RV-8, but could very easily be modified for other
models of RVs. After I finished it, I thought other builders might like to
use it as well. It comes with no guarantees whatsoever.

Greetings:
I have time to help someone on their Project. I have completed building the RV-8A
empennage ( Acid etched, Alodined and Mil Epoxy Primed the interior skins
and assembled) and have run out of room to continue building. Have tools to help
someone on their Project. I am a retired electrical engineer and have designed
my own Electrical System for the RV. Also designed an "Pilot Aux Warning
System" that monitors Vans analog engine gauges and provides a Warning for -
"Low Fuel", "Hi Oil Temp", "Low Voltage", etc Spent many ours researching the
best way to do things on Matronics from other Builders. Hoped to use this info
on my Project, but ran out of room to build, thus hoping to share ideas and
help someone on their "Project".
