Skidz Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 As far as I know, there's no change to the W&B charts for the B3e from the B3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0T0R Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 The B3 DH actually but correct Skidz. The increased gross weight is the only difference between the B3 and the DH and "e" regarding weight and balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullcap Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 There are many single hydraulic B3e's in the world and thus the w & b is identical to all single hydraulic B3's. I think there is even one in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0T0R Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 There's your answer fan, find out how many hydraulic systems there are on your ship and proceed accordingly. Fly safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freewheel Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Since the weight and balance envelope gets narrower as the gross weight increases, the for and aft limits also differ between single and dual hydraulic B3's. I've seen a few spreadsheets for DH machines where the maker simply increased the max gross weight and forgot to change the Forward and AFT limits...
