Default RE: Moving wing to change cg

This is not a simple problem.

The relocation of the wing along the fuselage induces a relocation of the center of lift.

Because the wing has its own weight, the cg gets relocated as well.

As the CG moves aft, the tail moment gets reduced (tail becomes less effective).
