Be VERY careful in the Bo with reduced fuel in the tanks! The leading edge tanks on the Bo cause the C/G to move aft with fuel burn. Starting out with partial fuel means you are starting with the C/G already partially aft. I always did a weight and balance for both takeoff and one hour remaining with any unfamiliar loads. However, although the CofG got towards the rear of the envelope with 1 hour remaining, I never found a loading that would put it out of CofG (and definitely not solo or with 2 on board). Four on board and one of them heavy in the back would do it though. -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee"
