Default RE: Suggestion for moderators

You really don't think light weight broadens usable CG range?
Lower loadings = lower angles of attack needed to provide same amount of lift.
Dick,
Everybody knows that by reducing the wingloading will reduce the stall speed - that's just part of the old "hard" rules, which you don't seem to appreciate so much…
But, since an airplane rotates about its centre of gravity, it either flies or dies depending on its CG location…
