Group: Moderators Posts: 593, Visits: 4.9K	There's a couple of bits of information missing there, such as your MTOW and acceptable CoG range. It's also not entirely clear whether the 355.4 figure is your CoG or is the maximum rearward CoG or indeed something else! Can you upload a scan of your actual W&B page because what you posted was a little confusing.
