Tell you what; instead of my "advising you" on what to do specifically with this flight, let me suggest to you that
you run a weight and balance for this aircraft at full tanks, THEN run the same pax and baggage loading figuring 1/4
tanks, just to see what this does to the cg.

I did. CG is pretty much center of the acceptable range.
C172 410lbs in the front seats, 170lbs in the back, 30lbs in the baggage area, fuel to tabs -- CG is "good". Same
situation, empty fuel. CG good too.

A lot of ppl are talking about CG issues. Hey maybe I better check my math before I fly this thing!


Typical for a 172... Most are forward of the forward CG with full tanks, 2 standard folks up front, and nothing at all
in the back seats or baggage area.
