Vashon Ranger R7 weight & balance

Data source

POH Section 2.3; Section 6.2, 6.3 Sample Loading Problem, Figure 6-1 Loading Graph, Figure 6-2 Flight Envelope (pages 20-73 of ranger-r7__poh__rev6-2026-08-07.pdf) · version type

• Flight envelope chart is drawn in moment (in-lb) vs weight; vertices converted to arm = moment/weight. Converted values agree with the printed CG limits 112.13–117.64 in, which are used as the arms.
• Lower envelope edge at 950 lb is the bottom of the chart axis, not a printed minimum weight.
• Header fuel is entered as a fixed 15.0 lb (2.5 gal @ 6 lb/gal) in the loading table; 2.5 gal used as header tank quantity. Usable quantity not printed.
• Wing fuel tank capacity not printed on these pages; the loading graph's Fuel-Wing line runs to about 140 lb (~23 gal) – verify in Section 1/7.
• No baggage limits printed on these pages; the loading graph lines end at 100 lb (Baggage-Main) and 50 lb (Baggage-Aft) – verify placarded limits.
• Max gross weight 1320 lb (from airspeed limitations and envelope); no separate landing or zero-fuel limits printed.
• Use the aircraft's actual Weight and Balance Form for empty weight and CG; 882 lb @ 112.26 in is the sample only.
• Read from the POH by ZuluCheck and checked by a second reading; verify against your own manual.

For reference only. The aircraft’s approved flight manual and weighing report are the final authority.
