Vs moves with change of CoG Tricky one??. I'll have a lash...

In cruise any shift of the freight /pax will change CoG and level flight will only be maintained by a trim change to counteract.
As the weight of the aircraft and load remains the same, ergo.. the stall speed at that given weight should remain the same.
To my mind if the CoG is within the specified tolerances of the CoG range the touch down /stall speed should be the same....trim having countered any weight shifts or change of flight attitude. Or am I missing something here ???

Va. Design limitation maneovering speed. The speed at which any abrupt and full control deflection may cause structural damage or failure.
eg Jumbo that got away from an inattentive crew...exceeded G limits and speeds...some bits broke or tore off but it held together. Luckily for all on board.!

Those out there that do know...correct? those that should know.
