One option is to use the exact position of the pilot CG for the calcs.
	


The easiest way is to do a weight with the pilot sitting in the plane.

Assuming you have already done the EMPTY weighing and calculated the CG

you can work the whole "weight x arm = moment" thing in reverse, since

you have the empty CG and then you get the CG with the pilot in the

plane (from weighing) that can be extrapolated out since you know the

change in CG position and the weight of the pilot...just solve for the

ARM.



I hope that is clear as mud...would have to dig up an example to explain

further...

I have built a spreadsheet to do this if anyone would like.
