RE: fuel tank at balance point/center of gravity
I do! I normally fly till I run out of fuel and bring it around dead stick for the landing, last weekend I only flew a few min and brought it in the check something and was SHOCKED and how fast my plane was going when tring to land. Over shot and to come around to try a 2nd landing. I about ran out of runway before getting it turned around. For a few min I was wondering what was different. Then it hit me, full tank of fuel! It makes a difference.
