Thank you very much,
the issue I am raising is about real life commercial aircrafts where the reference is of course the cg. I agree that weight does not produce any moment about cg, but how about thrust and drag and how do they affect longitudinal stability and neutral point position, especially if the arms of the these forces ( thrust and drag) are dependent of AOA, alpha?
