I can't believe this thread has taken so long to discuss. And if you actually read thru it, the two most opinionated people are agreeing with the methods, but the pictures in their heads are completely different. One of them only wants to FIND the CG in a 3-dimensional object, the other one wants to MARK it on a 2 dimensional surface. But they are actually agreeing. By they way they are posting it will lead you to beleive they are not agreeing. WOW.
The written word is about the worst communications us humans flog each other with.
What at least one of the most "opinionated people" has for motives is to provide enough detail that every beginner who comes through this swamp doesn't leave with just wet feet.
The point is for everyone to have a chance to understand most of this isn't an individual's opinion, and to understand how to find the mfg's suggested CG location with sufficient accuracy.
