This might be a dumb question, but on setting the CG on say a P-40 or Corsair where there is a significant shift in weight as the gear rotates and retracts rearward, my question is how do you account for that shift in weight with this method? Most people calculate the CG with the gear retracted. So how would you balance an aircraft like that?

Thanks,

James
