On re-reading some of the posts I think that maybe MAC is being confused with AC !!??
As a matter of interest what % of MAC did you end up with and then using that tool what static margin needs to be specified so as to derive that ?

Brian, I'm going to have to go back and do some work to answer your question. I printed out the data for 5% and 15% static margin for the Axiome, and it would suggest I could go further back yet with my cg. (This is with std. stab efficiency). The problem is I'm at 33% of MAC now and I'm not between 5 and 15 on the static margin. Doesn't sound right to me but maybe that's what happens with these swept wings. Anyone know where CPLR's Axiome cg is/was?
