Scott Baker did the above calculations. 
In discussions with Scott Swing, the aft limit has been moved progressively further aft over the years. This was the factory recommendation. I would confirm with Scott Swing.

>> Well, I just finished all the weighing of my 173 FGE. I am running all the numbers now to see what I am dealing with. My manual does not show what the Empty CG should be for a 173. I looked on the Velocity website, and I don't even see the W & B section in the on-line manual. Anyone have some reference numbers or point me to where I missed them?
