Gary,
-first half is correct.  When my wife and I go on long camping trips we =
end up with 80-90 lbs of gear in the back.  The reduced stability is =
noticeable when cruising up high (15-18k)in this loading condition.  The =
combination of aft CG and very thin air make trimming more difficult-especi=
ally roll.  Down low it doesn't stand out as much unless you consciously =
look for it.  If you give the stick a step input and observe the hands-free=
 response, you can see the difference.  The only noticeable difference =
down low is the reduced stick force in the flare.  I have flown in this =
condition many times over the years.  80-90 lbs is my baggage limit (given =
no change in passenger weight) based on the stability response in high =
altitude cruise. =20
