Real weight & balance Excel spread sheet I made and used when I was flying a Cessna T206H several years ago. This spreadsheet was made to be able to use all kind of loading (PAX/CARGO/MIXED/CARGOPOD). It came with a very convenient unit converters (kg/lb, Gal/lb, Lt/lb, Lt/Gal), and a W&B table that can be adjusted for a specific aircraft as well as for specific ARMs.
Despite the fact that this W&B have been extensively tested and used for several hundreds of hours of real life flying, I prefer to be on a safe side and specify that this Excel sheet is for simulation use only and shall not be use for real life operations.
Initial release: Ver.1.1

I did consider adding a spring on the tail which is a thing some owners do to help cushion a tail strike. You do need to be aware of the final CG if you want the aircraft to handle well.
By default, the load has 200 pounds of baggage and that is to help provide a better balance for pilots who don't care about the loading. But for anyone interested in this mod, load it according to the plan and I think you will find that the aircraft should behave as you expect.
