I had the opportunity to fly an RV-10 today. On landing, I was surprised by the heavy stick to get the nose up to flare. I had the trim all the way, but the stick was still very heavy. I and the owner were in the front seat. No others. He said that the CG is very far forward with just two people in the front and that he puts 50 pounds in the baggage compartment when he flies it without back seat passangers.
Is this normal? Is this related to the unequal trim travel issue? Also, this RV-10 trues out at 191 MPH. He said it is slower because of the AC condenser on the belly. Any comments?
Thanks
