I mentioned I found a few discrepancies in the moments used in the W&B
sheet from the factory.
Those with AG5Bs, the engine weight is the same as the AA5B although
the alternator, included in the weight, is 2 lbs heavier. Obviously,
actual values were not determined. The nose strut shock assembly got a
pound lighter but the nose wheel assembly got 1.3 pounds heavier.
Paint is 14 pounds heavier. Pitot is heavier. No change in the wheel
fairings even though the AG5B has fiberglass wheel pants and the AA5B
has plastic ones. Headliner weight in the AG5B is the same as the
weight used in the original AA5 Traveler even though the AA5 headliner
is just cloth strung on aluminum tubes; The AG5B has an inch of foam
glued in place under the fabric.
The Cargo CG is the parting line between the top of the seat back and
the back of the seat bottom when the seats are laying down in the cargo
configuration. I could buy that.
The Baggage CG is the geometric center of the baggage area.
The assumption being equal loading about the centers.
Regarding the front seat arm, I measured it today. It appears the arm
for the front seat pilot and copilot is for the most forward location
of the seat. In the aft location, the arm is 7 inches further back.
Sitting there, it looked to me like the center of the seat pan was used
(by the factory) for the seat CG. Just trying to visualize the center
of mass, I would have moved the CG back an inch or so.
Word of caution: If your loading is near the aft CG using the sample
loading in the W&B, moving the seat to the middle of it's travel will
make the CG go past the aft CG limit.
The coat hook is at 158 inches
