Gary,
This thread is very interesting to me as I had some doubts about my AG5B
W&B figures from the factory.
I removed the rear headliner and weighed it. It weighed 4.5 lbs. Don't
have the breakdown in front of me but most of that weight was in the
thicker, yellow foam. The weight of the factory main wheel and leg
fairings is 17 lbs. The rear baggage floor carpet was 5.13 lbs the hat
rack 5.75 lbs all the other floor carpet 7 lbs. The 12.13 lbs of wool
carpet was a bad idea from the ex Commander Aircraft execs...
Does 81" sound right for the wingtip light. That is the ARM my IA used
when installing the Boom Beam lights
My OEM alternator weighed 12.25 lbs while the replacement Plane Power
weighed 9.8. My shocks weghed 5.24 steps 5.05
Do these compare with your findings?
Ned

Ned,
=========> follow my responses
This thread is very interesting to me as I had some doubts about my
AG5B W&B figures from the factory.
I removed the rear headliner and weighed it. It weighed 4.5 lbs. Don't
have the breakdown in front of me but most of that
weight was in the thicker, yellow foam.
The weight of the factory main wheel and leg fairings is 17 lbs.
======> Can you break out the wheel fairings from the wheels? My
database treats them separately.
The rear baggage floor carpet was 5.13 lbs
======> Just the carpet in the baggage area??????
the hat rack 5.75 lbs
=======>
all the other floor carpet 7 lbs.
=======> what do you mean? Is this different from the following?
The 12.13 lbs of wool carpet was a bad idea from the ex Commander
Aircraft execs...
=======> from what I've found, the average basic airframe weight of the
AG5B (later ones, anyway), weigh 80 to 100 lbs more than a 70s Tiger.
But, then, a 70s Tiger doesn't have bondo on the entire side of the
plane.
Does 81" sound right for the wingtip light. That is the ARM my IA used
when installing the Boom Beam lights
=======> sounds right. I'm showing the leading edge of the wing at
75.68 inches. What is odd is that the CG for the landing light from the
factory is 101.96 inches. The main gea
r wheel assembly is supposed to
be at 100.15 inches. That would put the landing light behind the main
gear.
My OEM alternator weighed 12.25 lbs while the replacement Plane Power
weighed 9.8.
=======> I'm showing the weight for the OEM alternator at 12.7 lbs.
10.10 for the Plane Power.
My shocks weghed 5.24
=======> that is the weight I have for the last AG5Bs. The 70s shock
assembly is 4.31 lbs.
steps 5.05
========> no change.
Do these compare with your
findings?
