Regarding Zed's question about cg with the BRS in different configurations...Once I had the empty weight measured and the empty weight CG calculated, I did about 5 or 6 additional weight and balance calculations. You don't need to reweigh the airplane under each different scenario, just recalculate the cg based on the weights and arms. So I did my weight and full fuel, my weight and low fuel, pilot and passenger and max fuel, etc. I don't remember what all the cg's were for all the different configurations, but every configuration I did had the cg falling within the correct range. I am pretty sure the cg did move forward when pilot and passengers are abord, i.e., the most rearward cg was when empty. It is very likely your DAR will want to see a variety of weight and balance calculations like this as part of the inspection.
