Agreed John.
My thoughts about it were more to do with the fact that I seem to plan to try moving the CG back for the next time I fly, just to see how the handling is affected, but never seem to get round to doing it! Having a system that can be adjusted on the spot might help that situation.
I was thinking of doing it with my Edge, with a YS110 in it, so the fuel tank position, with respect to fuel suction isn't really an issue in the first place.
