Do anyone know why some reduction factors are Moment/1000 and other reduction factors are Moment/100?
Also, if you divide by the reduction factor in the beginning in order to get a smaller moment to work with (makes math easier)...you have to remember to multiply your total moments BY the reduction factor in the end before obtaining the CG. I actually prefer NOT to use the reduction factor...less chance for mistakes.
I also prefer the "airplane CG location" chart as opposed to working with "loaded airplane moment" chart. Which do you guys prefer?
