Corky,The empty CG will vary from ship to ship as the leading edge is apparentlywhat everyone uses as the datum and different planes have the wings indifferent places fore and aft. So where the CGs fall for the same loadingschedule of different ships might be different.Like you said, what is the usually range of CG in inches or % of chord?I think that is why we have a fly off period of 25 hours. If it appears tobe in reasonable limits, I do not see the issue.I have to go to dinner and will be back on the list in two hours.Also, DO YOU HAVE A FUSELAGE TANK? YOU NEVER ANSWERED THE QUESTION.chris-----Original Message-----
