Tip Tank ARM

Postby William Mattson » Tue Nov 20, 2012 6:46 pm

I have a 250 with the Tip Tanks. Just doing an updated weight and Balance. Is the Arm on the Tip Tanks the same as the Mains? If different where can I find this Information?

Years ago I asked Larry Larkin the same question. He looked it up in some information he had on the 260C, the only single model that came from the factory with tip tanks. For the 260C, the arm is 90.50 inches. If the arm on your mains is 90.00, then the arm on the tips is 90.50. I don't know about the twins, but I would bet it is the same.

Look in the type data sheet for the 260C, and in the STC or installation instructions for the tip tanks.

Bill,

If you have old W & B from the tip tank install, it should be there in your POH.
