Cont. A65-8 with a W72CK42 prop. I have a C85-12 and a W72GK44 sitting on the hangar deck awaiting installation. The W72GK44 resulted from one of many discussions here on SWPO.

Ditto, SJ. Thanx!
Just to give some explanation, I was attempting to show "Most Forward" and "Most Rearward" CGs using hypothetical weights. I wanted to Feds to appreciate that our Shortwing Pipers tend to reach max gross-weight before they will aft-CG out. I figured to fall out of the forward CG, the pilot would have to weigh about 135 lbs, something I don't think I'll have to worry about.... Anyway, none of this is mandatory for the 337.
I obtained the original PA-20 spreadsheet from Taildraggerpilot here on SWPO, so much thanks for creating the template from which I worked.
