Why move just the landing gear when you can move the whole, one-piece
Mooney wing?

I'm still trying to locate the picture. Perhaps he move thed tail
assembly back enough to set the CG aft of the mains?
Unlike a 172, the CG is not close to the mains normally though, its
pretty far forward. In a 172 you have to be careful if a couple big
guys climb in the back that the tail doesn't hit the ground before the
pilot gets in. I"ve never seen this tendancy in my Mooney.

You've got to give me some clues to finding pics of this thing. So far I've
only found mooneys for sale at soeme site called tailwheel.com and a lot of
irrelevent stuff.
Strangely, no porn sites, though. Guess there aren't any porn stars named
Mooney. You'd have thought the tailwheel bit might have hit a few, though.
