Help! Just in the process of purchasing a commercial beaver. We will use a see gee as our main w&b calculator.
Can anyone send me what they use for manual calculation.

Thanks in advance.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

You are gonna need the W&B addendums from the specific Beaver to determine your starting index on the SeeGee. Or are you simply looking for a generic Aircraft Manual W&B section?
These planes have modified so much that the manual does not do much good, in most cases.

I have a C G calculator with numbers up to 5370. They are good for any Beaver if you want mine. I never use it now.
I also have the instructions on set up here too, I think. As far operations manual you can set it that you use the Cee Gee for all calculations, if you wish.

if you run an IPAD and foreflight, they will add your w+b to it, with the plus being you can send to there server for savings(just need TC's sign off) have a GW/arm on your paperwork, and the rest saved for audit when in cell signal

If you have a Google account, I can send you a W&B and flight planning file.
