Hawkeye,
I am going to give you some numbers that were crunched on my Q200. I
figured some of the arms by using the POH and working the math backwards
somehow. If you have the new canard the final weights and moments should
be added up in 2 separate columns and then filled in to give you a point
on the graph. The final CG arm is not used in this situation to figure
weights and balances,,, just the graph.
WEIGHT ARM
MOMENT
EMPTY WT 704 40.2
28303.06
OIL A/C weighed with full oil
FUEL (header) 30 24
720
FUEL (main) 75 44.0
3300
PILOT 175 55.14
9650
PASSENGER 0
0
BAGGAGE 40 78
3120
TOTAL 1024
45093.06

Find 1024 lbs gross weight going up the left side of the graph and
intersect the moment inch lbs X 1000 45093.06. You will find that the
point is well in the middle of the fore and aft lines that run
diagonally. Again the LS1 Canard has a different chart than the GU
Canard. I don't know if this helps but thought it was worth a try. As
you can see the gross arm wasn't used as in a production aircraft. Just
the graph. Somebody spank me if I am wrong but I've been flying
everything from "Fat Folks" to "No Folks" and have not had a problem
(except for pilot induced "wild rides")
