You are confusing different reference points. Manuals give CG usually from the leading edge at the root. Xicoy measures CG from the main wheel axle line.
So does this make sense than? Did you see the pic in my post?

- The measured distance from the leading edge (per manual) to the edge of the straight edge behind the mains gear CG sensors

• 227mm - 32.5mm = 194.5mm
• 194.5mm - 74mm = 120.5mm

• 32.5mm = radius of sensor (dia of sensor is 65mm)
• 74mm = Eflite recommended CG (from leading edge)
