I recently re-weighed my Piper Clipper. I have the weight at each of the three landing gear positions. In order to complete the cg calculation, I need to know the position of the main gear and tailwheel relative to the datum. I was not able to find that from perusing the drawings CD. The TCDS showed the position of items like the seats, baggage area, fuel tanks, etc. but not the landing gear. Where would I find this data?
BTW, the empty weight is about 150 lb heavier than the TCDS says. I expected it to have gained weight, but was surprised by the magnitude of the increase. How much weight do airplanes typically gain in 60 years?
