Default Tie Down Trouble

On my IFR checkride, I had to show my numbers for weight and balance.

470 pounds of meat in the front seats *required* 100 pounds in the baggage
department with full tanks. I elected to put in 75 pounds (yes, I brought
barbell weights) and account for fuel burn off to keep me in CG.


So, you had to take off out of CG, right? Fuel burn on the taxi and run-up
could not account for that much, right?

Is the landing CG range different from the take-off CG?

Just curious. :-)
