    Your numbers look ok to me, my plane is heavier with IO-240B but your ForeFlight setup looks about
    same as mine. I have in my notes 150 lb max for the Cargo.

    Couple differences.

    For forward CG I have 10, and aft I have 14.8 (I have 1 degree forward wing sweep)
    For Baggage area station I have 46.9

    Regards,
    Jeff

    We'll have to look into this more, but I saw a notation (from another kitfox 5 W&B) that said if you have the factory luggage bag, then the max weight was 40lb and ARM was 40.5

    I'll have to look through my original notes at the airport next chance. Likely though the heavy nose Series 5 with
    the 1 degree forward wing sweep changes things. Lacking the manuals or notes, I can only mention what I have
    in my spreadsheet I created at build time.
