No need to crawl in for you loaded W&B -- a seated pilot's CG is just aboutat your belly-button ( about 9-10" forward of the seat back and 9"-10" abovethe seat bottom) -- a plumb bob & tape measure should give you the distanceto the datum (wing L.E.??) or lay it out on a fuselage side view.Mike C. in KS> As the man said....
