I guess I can call Van’s this week, but I had a couple questions I throw out there on W&B moment arms:
<![if !supportLists]>a) <![endif]>The pilot moment arm is given as 114.58”, but of course, the front seats are adjustable through a range. Where did Van’s place that point?
<![if !supportLists]>b) <![endif]>Likewise, the baggage area is quite large, so is the Van’s-chosen moment arm location in the center? At the (conservative) aft end of the baggage area?
I guess I can measure those myself next time I’m at the hangar, but thought I would write this while thinking about it.

FWIW the pilot location is pretty insignificant as you are essentially sitting on the CG. As for the baggage area I would guess the center, but you could measure it pretty easily comparing one of the other fixed points (like the leading edge of the wing if I remember correctly).
