Weight and Balance 101 for homebuilts

This DVD is specifically designed to teach the experimental aircraft homebuilder who is not comfortable with weight & balance concepts how to perform the required weight & balance calculations for their aircraft. We make it easy for you to understand the concepts required to perform your own weight and balance analysis on your aircraft and then document the findings for the inspection process. The video begins by presenting the big picture of the importance of weight & balance for safe aircraft flight, and then progresses through each step using video ‘chapters’ with detailed explanations.
