I am trying to find the wing weight for my ventus C Dan When I weighed my std Cirrus, I also weighed just the fuselage and stabilator, being Very Careful not to let it fall over. I could do some math and get just the wing weight from that. 'nonlifting' Parts weight was more helpful to me. Scott

To find weight of wings - subtract weigh of Non lifting parts (NLP) from
empty weight of glider, both of which you should have from the last weighing schedule. Paul At 02:56 29 December 2016, wrote: Can you assume wings weight is max T/O weight - max non lifting parts ? I am trying to find the wing weight for my ventus C Dan

My factory Weight and Balance sheet shows 62.7 kg for the right wing and 62.9 kg for the left wing (138.2 lbs / 138.7 lbs). This for Ventus cT SN 95 (SN 346 C model)/ Bob
