Actually, it doesn't make any difference. Just put a mark on the fufelage,
and put a 5.1mm drill 100mm aft the mark. Place bubble level on the drill,
with one edge resting on the mark.

Oh, only got drills sized in inches in your workshop ?...

I love it... "1000:51 at top of aft fuselage". * *Not 20:1 or anything
simple like that. * *"Okay George, up on the tail about 2MM. *Wait....
no, down a 1MM. * Nope, nope back up 1MM... "

Okay, maybe should have included the :-) But, since we're all so
serious, someone with a Blanik go calculate the difference that .1MM
makes given the mass of the beast. Then, eliminate the calibaration
errors in scales, location of the seat belt buckles, inflation of the
oleo (which will change the angle with the tail wheel) yadda yadda
yadda. I think the point was the level of precision implied by
1000:51 is laughable given the realities of conducting a W&B
