Aero-12:

The center of gravity (CG) also affects the lift that the wing must produce. As the CG moves forward, the nose-down moment increases because of the airplane weight and wing lift (fig. 5). Therefore, the downforce on the horizontal tail required to trim is increased. This means that the wing must provide enough lift to compensate for the download on the tail in addition to the weight of the airplane. Note that the AOA of stall is not changed, but the lift required of the wing is greater, and therefore the stall speed is increased.
