New Weight/Balance for 20U

Hello Gang,

We just got the W/B from Cessna 20U's new transponder installation, and thought a select few of you who even compute W/B would like to update your calculations :)

The new empty weight data is:

Weight: 1426.6 lbs
ARM: 36.66"
Moment: 52,298.8

This represents an increase of 1.5lbs empty weight, which means you lose one quart of avgas in reduced payload for you on your long Cross-country flights, or a loss of 1.9 minutes of range. Or, you could just skip lunch...

Blue Skies! (well, not today.. but in general!)
