  I have the same or at least similar reaction to CG. When flying  alone with 
different fuel loads, the farther forward I move things (computer,  baggage, 
tools) the faster the airplane is. When the plane is at gross weight it  is 
always the slowest. When it is the lightest it is not always the  fastest. It 
seems when the elevator is neutral, the plane is faster.
     I picked up 17kts. when I put on my own  design wheel pants. It went 
faster with less drag which made the ram air  induction work better and produced 
more power which made the plane  go faster so the wheel pants work better and 
so on. IO360 MT 165TAS (Mach  .248)
