We had a share in a T67a. When flown with 2 up and the necessary low fuel load to keep within aerobatic weight limit, it was quite easy to exceed the rear CofG limit. This necessitated a complex list of seat loads and seat adjustment positions. I wonder whether such calculations were always done with the earlier models, hence the spin problems, exacerbated I suspect by incorrect recovery actions by inexperienced pilots.
