Default RE: locating CG

Gary, what you've shown is not the MAC but rather just the average chord. When we designate a MAC it implies not only the average chord length but also the LOCATION of that effective chord. And in the case of a wing with a 1/4 chord line that has sweep in it the sweep and span are very important to finding the location of the effective chord. This whole location and length answer is what the MAC is.
