Nigel, that is a very good question. At the show, N505CQ had "some" weight back there but I could not tell how much. Nor do I know whether it is pilot-adjustable - it would certainly necessitate an entry on the Form C in the W&B section of the RFM. And it would probably be tricky (if not difficult) and definitely not a good idea to change that weight while the ship is running.
