I think an accepted standard as to where to measure for the cg of a sitting
person is to measure where the belt buckle is located.

Ted was trying to protect me from embarrassment over measurement errors by
corresponding with me directly. Appreciate it Ted but not to worry. I
don't
mind fessing up if I made a boo-boo especially if it could lead to someone
else using bad numbers. I still advocate everyone making your own
measurements. Differences do exist between different builders and pilot
preferences for seat position as mentioned below.

I went and re-measured today. Here's what I got this time:

Pilot - 20 inches
Passengers - 58 inches
Baggage - 81 inches
Rear Baggage - 118 inches
