RE: My CG Machine
Re MrMike's spreadsheet - I believe that the calculation can be carried out just by measuring the distance between the mainwheels and the nosewheel. Using his data:
----------------------------------0---------------------------0
........................................262.4<-------------25------------>
.................................................2 70.4<---------x----------->
Moment about the CG = moment about the mains
270.4x = 262.4*25
x = 264.4*25/270.4
CG = 24.26
So CG is 24.26inches behind nosewheel or as given by MrMike 44.26 from nose of the aircraft
