I can agree with that. In my 182 there's no way to have an aft cg

problem is with full fuel and nothing in the back.

Not for takeoff... for landing.
On several occassions, I have filled the rear baggage compartment up
to the mid-windows level. It is very easy to scrape/drag the tail
tiedown ring if you are not aware of the CG location (takeoff and
landing) and are prepared to fly accordingly.


Oh, I agree with that also. Definitely more elevator authority with a load
in the back. I was just commenting on the legal W&B envelope.
