Where does the weight show up? At the FS of the panel, or at the center of mass of the radio?
Say you had a 10 inch long, 10 lb radio and it was installed in a panel at FS 90. Will the weight show up at FS 90 or at FS 85?
The installation manuals of some avionics provide specific information on the center of mass for weight and balance calculations; the Garmin GTX327 is a good example. Lacking that information I would assume the weight is located at the center of the radio and use that distance. In your example I would use FS85.
