During the deep stall investigations, Danny Maher specified 120.5" aft limit in a May 1991 newsletter. I've got the original shorter chord wings, so that's the limit I'm using even though I've got VG's on the main wing.

hmm. That's odd. My flight manual says that the AFT limit is 120.75", and the Forward limit is 115.
I am working on my spreadsheet information, It would be nice to compare it to another 173 just for comparison.

I am attaching our excel spreadsheet/worksheet and the W& B file.
Your should make your own measurements. The Datum is the nose. FWD CG limit should be 123 and aft 115.

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?
Thanks,
Kurt
