Scott,


Now that you mention it, I forgot to mention the slight difference between
my Legacy and the factory Legacy (199L) in my recent post about tail fuel in
the MD-11 and it's effect on cruise.  
  

With my rearward C.G. compared to 199L, I noticed that 199L had slightly
better dynamic stability in both pitch and roll axis's (HHMMM, did I spell
that right?) than mine.  Nothing unsafe, as I was still well within design
C.G. limits, but this was additional motivation to move the C.G. more
forward.
  

For what it's worth,
  

Ron

neutral (or worse, divergent) pitch stability, hard to keep on top of the
beach ball.  <<<
