Wrong default Fuselage_lateral_cx value + suggestion

I found another picture where they showcase the cylinder with 0.3 - 0.6.

However suggesting the values starting with 0.2 (a sphere) is ridiculous.
As the fuselage is a mixture of a cylinder and cuboids starting with 0.8 makes totally sense.

The problem is they are setting 0.4 as default, which is way to low for 90% of the aircraft.
And then suggesting 0.8 as maximum, which should actually be the starting point.
