Default Yellow A/C .60 Extra Low Speed Problems?

Hi,

Well, he reports that the CG is at the location called for in the instructions, but that the airplane stalls and spins in on what he considers a moderate-speed approach. He has dialed in some reflex into his ailerons for landing, and says this helps, but that it's still prone to an approach stall-out. My first thought was that he is simply getting the plane too slow, but he sounds like he has enough experience to know when that is happening. I was wondering if anyone has moved the CG aft of the specified location. Anyone done this? What happened? Thanks for the help.
