Piper Cub friends,
EDIT: Thanks all for your comments by email. I have withdrawn the first version because it apparently is not flexible enough. I can't fix it now because my son and I plan on flying early this morning. Extended baggage, wing tanks, large engines, more oil? Will repost it later with more features.
PERHAPS; more likely I will give up.

Attached [Withdrawn]is another Chuck Shaw freebie. Use at your own risk. If you find any errors in my formulas, please notify me on PM or direct email. I suggest that as soon as you open the document, save it with a new file name including your aircraft number. There is a blank place in the upper left corner to enter your "N" number on the form, also.
This is a Microsoft excel form which calculates w&b for takeoff, and for landing with 3 gallons fuel as now set up. You can change that weight from 18 lbs to whatever.
Enter YOUR data in the yellow shaded blocks. Everything else will automatically calculate, including telling you if you entered too much baggage, or your total weight is too high, or your loading is out of the allowed c.g. range for a J-3 Cub, or at least for a J3C-65 Cub. I am not sure if the range is the same for higher horsepower, and it is too late to look it up now.
Remember this is at your own risk. If you fill in your data, and print it out, make sure it makes sense.
