Thanks guys. What I am looking for is the range of distances between the center of gravity and the center of lift.
I know on the P-38 CoG can vary between 20-30% of wing chord. I would assume then 25 %...
If I could know the precise location at say, "Normal Take Off", or even just determine the "middle" of the available range of CoGs, then with the location of the center of lift I could work out a distance, or an average distance, between the two.
Also, it should be noted, if that is possible, that I would prefer to know the location of the center of of lift of the main wings alone, in isolation of the overall lift center of the aircraft as a whole, and compare the location of that to the "Normal Take Off" center of gravity of the whole aircraft, if that makes sense...
I don't even know if the CoL of the main wings is ever determined separately of the CoL of the whole airframe...
