I should have said " right in the middle of the plans called for CG range". It is generally accepted that the rear 2 inches of the"plans called for" CG range should be avoided for safe flight. Pitch control is noticeably more sensitive as you move further aft in the CG range. Also, my KR is stretched 24 inches, moving my elevators back 24 inches and giving me a bit more elevator authority.
