hmmm... wondering that myself... I did say "within placarded weight limit",
right?

What I was asking was if is possible to seriously affect the CG by loading the
max. cargo limit into the designated space in the airframe. Obviously, CG is
effected by where one places a load in an airframe, as well as the weight of
the load. My question was how much effect does a 100% placarded load effect CG
versus say a 23% load. Is there a noticable diference in handling, or can this
be trimmed out? Just wondering. Most of my airtime is in weight-shift
gliders, where CG is absolutely critical.

BTW, 4 kegs? Might be time to switch to muzzleloader...
