least a foot high to level the door frame.
Drop a plumb bob from the leading edge of the wing.
Measure horizontal distance from plumb bob to front axles and from plumb
bob to main wheel axles.
Take another measurement from the plumb bob to whatever you are using
for a datum if using something other than the leading edge. Personally
I'd use the leading edge unless MDRA can invent a legal piece of paper
that says otherwise. Makes the math easy. Makes the result easy to
interpret. Makes converting to wheels easy.
Weigh all wheels. If you don't have enough scales also level it left to
right before every reading.
If you have those numbers give them to us and I'll walk you through the
math if you like. Others might benefit from the exercise or at least
critique us ;)
I can use my numbers for seat, fuel tank, and baggage position or you
can measure those distances from the plumb bob as well.
