I disagree. I spent several months looking at over 50 LNC2 candidates to
purchase. I looked at every conceivable configuration there is. Paramount
with me was CG. I'm 220 lbs. and my son is 240 lbs. so putting two heavy
people in the seats and staying in the CG envelope was critical under all
circumstances. I found an overwhelming number of aircraft that simply
wouldn't work for me. And I found none of the short mount configurations
would work, not one. Tail type had no bearing whatsoever.

Subject: Short tail - short engine mount
I second Bill Harrelson's comments. I have 1500 +/- hours on my 320, small tail, short mount, 1989 kit and have no adverse comments or complaints. The
only thing I can see with the big tail is more drag thus a few knots less TAS. It seems to me that the big tail/small tail debate and fix centered around a solution to a problem that did not exist.
