Does anyone have a weight & balance calculator for the Giles 202? Maybe something in an Excel or Numbers spreadsheet with the graph showing the in/out cg limits?

By the way, does anyone have any recommendations on the optimum CG % for advanced aerobatics?

G'day Gary,
I fly a G 202, it is Len Fox's original plane registered VH-YLF in Australia at unlimited. We have 20 L header and I put 25L above that for all training flights. My CG on takeoff is 29.6% MAC. When I have used up to 25 L in the top tank and landing we are down to 30.66% MAC. For competition is slightly less fuel to begin with but the numbers are much the same. Trim is for 0G so verticals can be hands off. Have fun
