Greg Nelson suggested what I thought to be a great method of standardizing
our discussions on CG.He said,basically tie weights to the tail tiedown
hook to see how much weight it takes to raise the nose wheel 1". This being
in flying config. with full fuel but with no occupants.( same for all
planes).

Well I looked at my plane and found that the tail tiedown slot was directly
under the center of the horizontal stabilizer. (A much easirer place to put
weights)We have a whole bunch of old batteries laying about the hanger,plus
5 gallon jugs of water  at 8 pounds each. My CG is right at the forward
edge and I will measure the weight it takes and report back shortly.
