Any W&B calculators that work in 640x480 on HP4700 PDA?

... but when you pack for AirVenture, you still do a W&B!

You'll need to do a W, no need for the B.

Four people, full fuel, camping gear... and you do weight only?


I can agree with that. In my 182 there's no way to have an aft cg problem
with a legal gross weight. The only way to have a forward cg problem is
with full fuel and nothing in the back.

Not for takeoff... for landing.
On several occassions, I have filled the rear baggage compartment up to
the mid-windows level. It is very easy to scrape/drag the tail tiedown
ring if you are not aware of the CG location (takeoff and landing) and
are prepared to fly accordingly.

Oh, I agree with that also. Definitely more elevator authority with a load
in the back. I was just commenting on the legal W&B envelope.

Not a factor. If you take off in the 182 within limits you will land
within limits.

Then you were illegal to takeoff.

Ok, we got the C182 W&B thing figured out and it seems the problem is
weight. Easy solution. Move up to a C208. Think of it a just a little
larger, all weather C182. Same easy handling, solid IFR platform and you can
still stay dry under the wing when unloading in the rain. gg. That Cessna
corp pretty much has the whole SEL market covered. Can't really say that for
any other AC producer.
