That would be problematic, since (as Jon and others have pointed out)
the CG isn't fixed.  In JSBSim, we take any arbitrary reference point
as origin, but bias towards the one the manufacturer uses if published
(for example, the C172 FAA TCDS gives the reference point right near
the firewall).


All the best,
