Greg,
Here are the details:
Forward C. G.
Actual Weight Empty 802
Pilot 170
Fuselage Tank 30
Wing Tank -- R. 54
Wing Tank -- L 54
Oil 8
Passengers ---
Baggage ---
Total 1118
The empty weight include 753 aircraft, 17 starter, 11 generator, 26
battery, 3.2 navigation lights,
2.6 sunshade, and .3 for Ammeter. I didn't check their math.
Unless fuel is more than 6 pounds a gallon 54/6 is nine.
