    I actually have a -1.4 moment on the mains. The mains are ahead of the leading edge so they should be negative and the tail should be positive. Maybe it's different with sweet wings but I would double check your measurements again. The mains are only + if they are tri gear mains.

    I'm -1.4 on the mains and +167 on the tail. The SS7 workable range is 9.00 to 16.00

    I believe the info that I worked from showed the limits as 9.5 forward and 16.0 aft. Doesn't make any real difference to me though, since I can't come anywhere close to the forward limit. My empty CG is just aft of that forward limit, so I guess I could send it up by itself to fly without me... if it wanted to.
