My reason for raising the question is to select an attitude, after 
which, I will drain the =9Cusable=9D fuel and proceed w/ my 
weighing to determine C of G. 

I=99m surprised to find well-reasoned yet differing opinions on 
this.

>> Fred/Bob, That's an entirely reasonable approach since the front end 
fuel outlets make it the most critical attitude. However it only really 
applies to those who would contemplate seeing if they can take off with 
+/- empty tanks. It seems to me much more practicable to go with the 
cruise attitude, where I guess 99% of fuel starvation happens. So door 
sill level would be my recommendation.
