Since we don't have a program to calculate center of gravity yet, when I set up the XS, I used a spreadsheet with physics formulas to calculate from the weight values I entered what the resulting center of gravity was. I had of course previously calculated where I thought (based on weight distributions) the center of gravity was, and then I compared the ideal one to the actual one, and when there was a discrepancy, adjusted the weights on the car, and the center of gravity is recalculated. Linked below is the spreadsheet I used to do this. It is in Open Document Spreadsheet format, so I hope you have OpenOffice or something similar.
