A Poll on your weight and balance

Going by just tail weight, perhaps Martin Heide has friends who are chiropractors. I suspect Martin just inherited this design feature. My 28 runs about 60lb on the tail, ballasted and with me in the cockpit. I have to lift a lot more than that to put the tail dolly on. I have no record of the tail weight for that condition but it calculates to approx 90lb. Attempting to answer the OP's question - In specified weighing attitude, no ballast and no pilot, tail 67lb. Same with pilot and chute in cockpit, tail 37.5lb. As others have pointed out, the conditions for measuring tail weight have a huge influence on the result. No data will be of any value unless the conditions are specified. Andy (GY)
