Don't have any CG info at all. That just might be the sort of thing 
that Francis Donaldson has on his new all-singing, all-dancing PFA 
project database.

However, flying XSs are pretty thin on the ground so far (and in the 
air). I only know of these:

267    N914XS   Bob Berube
370    OK-EUR   Tom Justic      782
A083   N7552Z   Dennis Vories

And as you can see, I only have a weight for one of them.

Anyone else able to offer figures, please do so, and add to our store 
of knowledge.

If I'd had a bigger list of aircraft, I guess the determined 
researcher could have checked with the builders of the listed 
aircraft (using the Europa Club membership list!) to get the CG info 
for each. Or should we try to collect that in the Club database too? 
That may not produce as much info as you'd like - not everybody fills 
in the blanks on the form. F'rinstance there are several people now 
flying who apparently don't know what engine they have fitted!
