Loading Calculations
For Moment/1000, refer to Loading Data table on following page.
Description Weight Moment/1000

1. Empty Weight
Includes unusable fuel and full oil
2. Front Seats Occupants
Pilot and Passenger
3. Rear Seats Occupants

4. Baggage
130 lb maximum
5. Zero Fuel Condition
Subtotal items 1 thru 4
6. Fuel Load
81 Gallon @6.0 lb/gal. maximum
7. Ramp Weight
Subtotal items 5 and 6
8. Fuel for start, taxi, and runup
Normally 9 lb at avg. mmnt of 1394 - -

9. Takeoff Weight
Subtract Item 8 from item 7
WEIGHT AND BALANCE

Calculation Instructions
1. Enter the current basic empty weight and moment from the aircraft’s Weight and
Balance Record.
2. Enter the total weight and moment/1000 for the front seat occupants from the
adjacent Loading Data Table.
3. Enter the total weight and moment/1000 for the rear seat occupants from the
adjacent Loading Data Table.
4. Enter the total weight and moment/1000 for the baggage from the adjacent
Loading Data Table.
5. If desired, subtotal the weight and moment/1000 entries from steps 1 - 4.
6. Enter the weight and moment/1000 of usable fuel loaded on the airplane.
7. Subtotal the weight and moment/1000.
8. Enter values for typical start, taxi, and run-up operations of 9 pounds at an average
moment\1000 of 1.39.
9. Subtract step 8 weight and moment/1000 from the Ramp Weight to determine the
Takeoff Weight and moment/1000.
a. Verify Takeoff Weight does not exceed the 3400 pounds.
b. Verify Moment/1000 does falls between the interpolated minimum and
maximum values listed on the adjacent Moment Limits Table.

The maximum demonstrated deployment speed is 133 KIAS.
2. Mixture (If time and altitude permit) .................................. CUTOFF
3. Activation Handle Cover .................................................. REMOVE
4. Activation Handle....................................PULL STRAIGHT DOWN
Pull activation T-handle from its holder. Clasp both hands around
the handle and pull straight down in a strong, steady, and
continuous motion. Maintain maximum pull force until the rocket
activates. Pull forces up to, or exceeding, 45 pounds may be
required. Bending of the handle-housing mount is to be expected.
Warning: Jerking or rapidly pulling on the activation T-handle will greatly
increase the pull forces required to activate rocket. Use a firm
and steady pulling motion - a “chin-up” type pull enhances
successful activation.
After deployment:
5. Mixture ............................................................... CHECK, CUTOFF
6. Fuel Selector ........................................................................... OFF
7. Bat-Alt Master Switches .......................................................... OFF
