Was using the fuselage with the hatch removed as 0. Should the wing and stabilizer cords be 0 at this position?
According to Mike McConville, the fuse sides (all four) are slightly tapered toward the tail. IOW, the top edge is NOT quite parallel with the thrust line. I don't recall how he said to do it (this CRS syndrome is getting worse for me[&o]), and unfortunately do not have the time right now to look it up; but it is posted, either in this thread or one of the threads in his forum. I used that method to establish the zero point, and adjusted my "off" wing accordingly.
