Please don't shoot me if this is a stupid question. G

Couldn't you simply calculate the weight and station (of the center of
the weight) of the seats, do the same with the replacement items, use
them in the CG calcs, and be good to go?

For example:

Remove x pounds @ arm y

Add x pounds @ arm y


Am I thinking correctly?
