Hi Group
Just a side note on adding weight causing the main wheel contact area to move 
aft:
When performing CG calculations, Europa has you drop a plumb to get the precise 
location of the main wheel contact area, same with tail wheel contact area aft 
of the firewall.
As you load the plane, the contact area of the main gear will move more aft, I 
will check and adjust contact area when changing weights. 
Pushing down on the tailwheel moves the contact area more aft as well.
I will report back how much difference compensating for aft contact area 
movements changes CG when loaded compared to leaving distance the same heavily 
loaded the same as unloaded.
If anyone has figured this already, I'm interested in what you have to say!
Ron P.
