Awesome, thats exactly why I wanted to do this. I figured people will come up with slightly different values and this way I can give a safe cg/measurement range for each model. The biggest differencer will be the measurement from mains to weight location since everyone will may have a different place they add weight. Cheers!

Wt to be added 706 mm forward of main wheels (this is front side of forward bulkhead as I will need to add about 400 gm).
Not sure if the differences might be due to different squat angles of wheels, or differences in levelling tolerances?
I think that this thread will be a great help to those of us using the Xicoy cg system - thanks for starting it.
