Your last statement just about sums it up, Ollie.
Most aren't inclined to go to the technical depths you have, myself included

For me, it's all about fun... as for CG, I want to know a starting point, and I'll play with it
from there, based on how it flies. I'm not the least bit interested in any technicality, though.
I just move it fore/aft of the "recommended" until it flies the way I want it to.
