Default zero fuel w & b

Not jumping your kimchee or anything, but facts are facts, and making 'em up
(or remembering 'em incorrectly) isn't a good idea when safety is at issue.


Kyle, I have personal knowledge of four, and first hand reports from
others in the RV community. The rash of accidents happened in the late
80's/early 90's. They were the basis for Van revising the aft cg limit
on RV-4's Just because the NTSB doesn't list it doesn't mean they didn't
happen. I also know of other NTSB final reports where the report did not
match the facts. You have to understand that the NTSB does not
investigate all accidents. In most cases, they take the information from
another agency and synthesize the results.
