Additionally, you do have the gear in both positions in flight. You
have it down at take off. You need to make sure that putting it up
isn't going to put your CG outside of the envelope right after take off
when you are still low, slow, and nose high. This could lead to a
departure stall. When you are landing, you put your gear down well
before you touch down, and you will be low and slow on final. The
difference between gear up and down may be a factor.


Bull****. Somebody mentioned that the gear will make a 1/2" difference
in CG. I personally don't believe that, it's way too much. But
assuming it's true no airplane falls out of the sky by going from the CG
on the aft limit to 1/2" past the aft limit.
