Cool Skywagon W&B Sheet

For those of you who know me (at least here on the web) know that I'm a bit of a pathetic OCD type... After we did WB on the Skywagon project, I made a cool custom sheet for my logs. I scanned the orig factory WB form from 1966, added some other interesting elements, and made myself a nice form to keep in the A/C and logs.

If any BCP members want a copy, PM me your data and I will populate and export a PDF for you. This was made for unusable fuel and min oil for the WB. You can figure out the math if you just have the empty weight w/ either full fuel or full oil etc... (im not gonna do your math so dont even think about it! [-X ) I also made a custom load chart that takes into account an extended baggage (proud of that)

FYI... Im only gonna do a couple of these for members, so first come first serve.....

I also did one for a good buddy who has a C170. He is on 8.5x6's so I made the tyres smaller and made the adj for the smaller tail on the drawing. This is not meant for a fresh weight, but to supersede his last paper WB change. Really just to have it in a cool form...

Those look pretty good! I'll need one for my 170 on 8.00s and one for the bushwheels :)

Re: Cool Skywagon W&B Sheet

That is awesome! Can you do it for an old straight tail 172 w/8.50s?

Re: Cool Skywagon W&B Sheet

I carry four W/B sheets so I do not forget during a gear change. Also, do not forget FAA approved flight manual supplement(s) and placards for... :D

* Amphibs
* 8.5/6/6tires (on TCSD, no STC needed)
* 31" tires
* Skis
* other STCs

Nice job achieving that 50's Cessna design look and feel.

Re: Cool Skywagon W&B Sheet

Wow! That is awesome. I always wished I had something along those lines for my Rans S7. I guess I have gotten older and lazy. I like the old graph style in my Cessna Manual. Hate digging out a calculator and 'running the numbers' on the tandem plane.

Very nice retro look!

Now you've got me wondering if I can convert my spreadsheet to look that way. :-)
