M20 J weight and balance

[rturbett]

Is there a larger version of the moment arm cart to make computing weight and balance easier?

FYI- I tried foreflight- hoping to go electronic, but the moment arm for the front seats is inaccurate when compared to the info in the POH and I couldn't figure out how to change their preset.

 

I did not see anything for a J in the download section.

Thanks for any thoughts or direction.

You can make your own. There are plenty of drawing programs out there.

I've been able to make the W/B in Foreflight do anything I need it to. I haven't set one up for a while, so I don't remember all the details, but I'm pretty sure you can enter the arms for every station.

I just checked. If you click the edit button next to the profile dropdown you can edit the arms, and everything else.

forflight let me set the weight, but when it came to the arms, It said  " your aircraft has an arm range for the front seats of 34 to 39, we chose 36 "

There is no adjustment available on foreflight, and in my POH, the range is 32.75 to 39. Curious how others work with this.

I just set my front seat arm to 20 and to 80 it took them both. I had it set to 36.5. I don't think I used a canned profile to start with, maybe that makes a difference.

ForeFlight has a legacy W&B and a newer one that integrates with flight calculations that I haven’t tried. The legacy version doesn’t have profiles, so you can enter whatever you like. 

team@foreflight.com is very responsive. If there is an error, I would send a copy of your POH to them and they should fix it.
