Default Schweizer 2-32 Sailplane W&B

Hi,

My first post to r.a.s. so go easy.

I've been looking through the Manual (about 15 pages) and cannot find
anything on the moment arms of the seats to use to determine the W&B. The
Manual has an envelope diagram, but how do I do the calculations without the
arms?

Thanks,

Hilton

Hilton:

Its easy. First go to the FAA site and download the TCDS
(Type Certificate Data Sheet) for the 2-32.

http://www2.airweb.faa.gov/Regulator...e?OpenFrameSet

It has all the CG range data, datum, arms of the seat
positions, etc, that you will need. Then get the empty
weight and balance information for your particular 2-32 and
your pilot and pax weights and do the calculation.

Does anyone have an Excel spreadsheet for a 2-seat glider? (Blanik, 2-33,
Duo - anything) I've done one for single seats (easy) but would like to see
the method used for a 2-seater. I'm kinda scratching my head and
demonstratng the limits of my Excel knowledge on this one.

Rgds,

Jim
