Thanks, machonepointone, looks to be a rational debate at last.
The reason is that with a rear C of G the nose down pitching moment of the C of P and the C of G is reduced.
so the pitching moment from elevator deflection can take it to a higher angle of attack. Those aeroplanes where, at forward cg, stall was limited by elevator travel will most likely have quite different stall characteristics at aft cg.
The point is that both wingtips should stall at the same time, so there will be no wing drop
Sorry, mach, I disagree with some of your statements here (I'll get back to this another day unless some-one else chips in).
