Default Balancing Jets

I have used the method used by full size aircraft.
You need three kitchen scales and you get the weight of each wheel, measure the distance between the wheels and calculate the CG from these figures. It is very accurate and you can calculate the effect of moving any heavy part to another position easilly.
I can post the formula if required. I made a simple excel spreadsheet.
