Bushwacker has noted that with Moesley's experience as a military then private commercial pilot he would have been familiar with handling changes as fuel is consumed. Therefore Carl may have located the middle of the fuel tank near the cg to minimize changes as the fuel level drops. Sounds reasonable. As explained the estimator is more for cg shift as modifications are made. When I created it I think I both scaled the middle of the tank from a brochure as well as measured it on the boat.
