Subject: CG vs. Cruise
As a Mooney pilot lurking on big airplane lists, I can report that in my airplane,
(and from reports in the Mooney community), moving the CG back gives a couple
of knots cruise improvement. Since my E is only 2575 gross, when flying solo
I can move the CG back quite a bit just by carrying a case of oil or some
other misc. junk in the storage in the aft cabin. It does get squirrelly in pitch
at full cruise, though, and flying at aft CG at cruise without an autopilot
would be very tiring.
