I must have miss-remembered my POH, Eliacim. Direct measure from the
firewall can be used, or check the ones Hartmut sent.

Subject: RE: [COUPERS-TECH] Weight and Balance Questions
Percy,
thanks for your reply, but the operating manual for the 415 only has a table
with weight and arm for "standard equipment" listing prop, carb air heater,
fuel pump, engine, landing gear, battery, starter, generator & voltage
regulator.
There is a list titled "normal loading" which has weights, but NO ARM for
empty plane, pilot, passenger, each fuel tank, oil, baggage and miscelaneous
I need those arms!
