Also can you please clarify something for me..on a bicycle plane (tail dragger):

Distance Front-Mains: = The measurement of the Distance from Main gear to tail wheel
Distance Mains-CG: = The measurement of the Distance from Mains to desired CG
Distance to Mains to weight placement: = The measurement of the distance from the absolute front of plane (to include spinner) to the tail wheel.

Please let me know if these are the correct measuring points for a taildragger.

Thanks,

Patrick
Mains to weight placement should be the distance from the mains to a location where you can actually place your ballast such as the firewall rather than the tip of the spinner if you want an accurate estimate of the weight needed to correct the CG.
Of course if you are planning to add a weighted prop washer or something like that, then the distance from the mains to that location is the correct one to use.
