    Curt,

    Those instruments look in really good condition. What engine is currently installed?

    Here is Curts Weight and Balance form for the Vagabond that you can use to do weight and balance calculations on your own airplane. Thanks for the help SJ.

    Cont. A65-8 with a W72CK42 prop. I have a C85-12 and a W72GK44 sitting on the hangar deck awaiting installation. The W72GK44 resulted from one of many discussions here on SWPO.

    Ditto, SJ. Thanx!
    Just to give some explanation, I was attempting to show "Most Forward" and "Most Rearward" CGs using hypothetical weights. I wanted to Feds to appreciate that our Shortwing Pipers tend to reach max gross-weight before they will aft-CG out. I figured to fall out of the forward CG, the pilot would have to weigh about 135 lbs, something I don't think I'll have to worry about.... Anyway, none of this is mandatory for the 337.
    I obtained the original PA-20 spreadsheet from Taildraggerpilot here on SWPO, so much thanks for creating the template from which I worked.
