The latter of which would almost certainly cause extreme CG issues, as I mentioned before.
But, it was not a problem on X2. CG was good. Though what SpineDrive says is correct, you still need a forward enough CG for stability. This is a basic aircraft fact that is true for both helicopters and fixed wing.
On Raider, as you load up the cabin, the CG moves forward.
