Default RE: Ballast Placement CG Caculation

To work out the moments you need the total weight of the plane, it's length and how far back the CG is from one end of the length.

and the weight of any components you're thinking of moving
and where they are along that line

(I didn't say it was dead simple and instantaneously quick.)
