Virg, I am glad you pointed that out. Bill states tail heavy and I do not see how that is possible with a forward CG. When I read that I just assumed Bill meant the tail was light Jim, you also made a very good point about the moment used for the pilot. Anything that is added after empty weight calculation must be calculated for that particular moment and not assumed. Bill, can you cut and paste a copy of your CG calculations so we can review them? Where are your fuel tanks? Wings, header or both?
