The large tail opens up the CG range over the= original.  You gain about 1.5" of rearward CG for the same stability.=   Lancair did some testing on opening up the forward end of the CG as = well, but I don't recall the results.  The bottom line is that yo= u can throw more weight in the baggage area or compensate for an empty CG t= hat came out a little more rearward than desired.  Many folks are happ= y with their small tails.  Those with difficulty probably have a = more rearward CG.  If racing I would favor the small tail, for bi= g trips with the back packed full of camping gear, I prefer the large = tail.

Subject: [LML] 320/3= 60 tail mod

Hi folks, I'm new here and I have no doubts this = has been discussed at
length in the past.  I'm considering the purc= hase of a 320 with the original
tail and from everything I've read it se= ems to be a squirrely a/c subject to
PIO in the landing configuration.&n= bsp; Can you direct me to additional resources
that describe the time/ef= fort/expense, etc. involved in retrofitting the
tail section?

Tha= nks,
Danny
