Very nice analogie's, they put good pictures in my head. If I kept the
fuel tank in the fuselage behind the firewall, wouldn't that have
created trim problems as the fuel got used up?


If you move any loads, including the fuel, you've changed the trim
point. You're always chasing the trim to some small extent anyway
(unless you have an autopilot which is doing the chasing for you). I
don't know if it can be described as a problem. You, as the pilot, will
have to decide that.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
