CG talk is garbage? So you don't balance your planes? If it were garbage then why would "real computer controlled airplanes" require the CG to be within a specified range. That would be because too far forward and you loose tail authority (yes I know you said that), but too far aft you loose pitch stability, such that even a computer can't compensate. Long range aircraft generally keep the CG more aft during cruise to noticeably increase range (amazing how such a small change in load can help so much.) I am saying fine tune your airplane, sure you can fly almost anything if its kinda close on balance, incidence, and weight, but don't they fly so much nicer when it is adjusted to normal ranges. What Speed and I are advising will benefit the performance throughout the envelope, not just on landing. If after tweaking it a little he still feels it has bad tendencies then by all means he should try some reflex. If you choose to fly a TLAR airplane be my guest, but not everybody is willing to accept mediocre on an A/C that is made to perform, and without the fine tuning adding reflex is a second rate fix on what is supposed to be a first rate A/C.
