Thanks for posting the Europa cg's. I see  6 out of 16 are over 60".  It
would be interestsing to have the auw. or aps moments as well for
comparison.. 

My own aps.cg is 60.8" (dare I say "at the moment" (:-)))  the same as the
highest figure in the list . With so little to spare before the 61 aft limit
for first flight, it is not surprising that only half fuel can be loaded
without ballasting.

It only needs 10 lbs more instruments though (taken to be at 37") to bring
this down to 59.5". which I fully expect to reach later.
