An Example should be in the POH that explains everything

I looked, and there are charts, but nothing specific on how to
actually calculate things. The Wikipedia article helped, although I
still don't know how to find the center of gravity in the aircraft, as
apparently manufacturers don't set their reference point at the actual
center of gravity (the point that would keep the aircraft level).
