Along the longitudinal axis, I think that we should use whatever the
published weight-and-balance reference is for each aircraft, since
that's what any published figures and distances will use.  For
single-engine Cessna's, it's the firewall; for some Piper Cub data I
found, it's the leading edge of the wing at the fuselage; and so on.


All the best,
