Calculating Weight and Balance

Hello,

First off, great job on this aircraft.

Is it possible to calculate the weight and balance of this aircraft to check centre of gravity etc.?
With the Realair Turbine Duke V2, I calculate the weight and balance using real world data and then input that into the aircraft fuel & payload setup on P3D. Is it possible to do this for the DHC-3T, and if so, where could I find the weight and balance data to calculate this? Or can it only be edited through MVAMMS?

Many thanks,

If you look in the aircraft config file, you will see all the load stations in the weight and balance section.

Or, you can refer to the manual online ( the turbine is the same as the piston Otter configuration )

Thanks for your response, that's helped me a lot. Would I be correct in saying that the basic empty weight ARM is 135.3in?

That would be correct
