Gives adequate pitch authority to pull to max lift coefficient, thus
tightest turn. From my experience, this is usually about 75-80% aft in
manufacturer's approved range.

How steep is the turn for which you still desire the ability to stall?
And how close to the ground or hillside do you expect to need this ability?

It's not clear to me this would be a useful ability for a pilot that is
trying to thermal away from a hillside, mountain, or during a low save.

I want to be able to fly at 45 deg bank without running out of
elevator. I rarely thermal steeper than that because sink rate rises
and I'm mostly interested in the smallest circle.
Note that I am NOT advocating far aft CG position- actually quite the
opposite.
