EX3/FX3 Weight and Balance Sample

[Narwhal747]

Hello,

Considering putting my money down and getting in line for an FX3. Before I do, I would like to see a sample of a "typical" EX3/FX3 weight and balance. I weigh 225 lb and so does my wife. I would simply like to know if this is a feasible aircraft for 2 person transport with 3-4 hours of endurance (yes I realize it is funny to watch fat people try to ingress/egress from a cub).

I don't need anything fancy, just the weight locations (stations) and a description of the forward and aft limits, along with empty weight and CG for a typical sample. I was planning to get a lot of avionics (G3X, GTX345R, backup instrument for potential IFR certs), float kit, baby bushwheel, odyssey battery, reiff preheater, so I'd imagine mine would weigh 1100 lbs+ empty.

I'm currently in a C182B and while an 850 lb useful load sounds fine in theory, the aircraft has real problems staying aft of the forward of the CG limit, making it difficult to load without a lot of aft ballast (in turn limiting the amount of fuel that can be carried). It is certainly a 2 person craft for us for anything more than a 30 minute flight.

If this is available on the website someplace and I missed it, my apologies in advance. Thanks!
