> That drag would already be built into the coefficients, I'd expect.

On a side note, the drag data is normally for gear up, and there are
additional terms for the incremental drag of being gear down.  For most
aircraft, I gather, CofG data is computed and reported for gear down.
In general, the former is measured in flight and the latter on the ground.

The difference is important; the CofG of a C172RG moves rearwards by 
about an inch on gear retraction and a noticeable lightening of the
control forces results.  This can move you out of the envelope, too.
