Not a factor. If you take off in the 182 within limits you will land
within limits.


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.

Then you were illegal to takeoff.
