RE: CG Machine
I concur w/Keith (pilott28): The weight/moments method with the spreadsheet is the cat's meow. Why lift, hoist, bang your jet around? Just slap it on the scales, make the measurements (which you only need to take once) and plug in the weight(s) - just like the big boys do it - and VERY accurate too. You'll soon be asking yourself why you hadn't done it this way before!
