Jim,
If you dump ballast early in the flight do you just deal with an aft CG

and
less stability or is it not noticeable?

I like the CofG quite aft so if I have to drop ballast during the flight it
gets a bit more lively but I do not mind that. If I intend to fly empty I
reduce the tail ballast 250g to make it optimum for that weight. I never
allow the CofG to go beyond the rear stop.
