I’m working on making a final decision on ordering a Sling 2 kit. I’m wondering if anyone has a screen shot of the weight and balance setup in foreflight. I would love to see how the Sling 2 loads affect things. I’m going to skip the parachute to save weight so that would be my preference to see. Th...
