Default RE: BTE DELTA VORTEX CG QUESTION???????

Very often, when a tank is placed "on the CG" it's actually not. Most designers consider that the fuel rides around in the back of the tank most of the time. So they usually don't put the center of the tank on the expected CG. It's a bit safer to place it with the center of the tank somewhat forward the expected CG. It often depends on the size of the fuel tank in relationship to the size of the airplane.
