REFLECTOR: Vortex Generators

[Laurence Coen]

Brian,

The max forward CG is 115.75".  If you are at 115" or less then that's your 
problem, not something wrong with the plane.  If I load 400# plus in the 
front I still won't reach the forward CG.  You should be able to hold the 
nose up at 70 KIAS.
