O.K. You have to put the plane on scales, weigh it empty -- compute the emptyc.g. Sit in it, compute the c.g. and derive the pilot moment. Sit in the fronthole, compute the c.g. and derive the passenger moment. I found the passengermoment to be in error on my plane. The scales do not lie. I had to makea new motor mount and cowling and correct for short tach, carb heat and oil templines (not fun).

Well now that's what I need! gonna need a helper but I get it now.instead of usingmy weight or a pre-determined one at a certain distance.I can do it with thescales and get a real true figure. Probably something I can get done.I knowI am way too far forward CG. which is unusual.but that is a way to get some realisticfigures. thanks!
