Many planes tuck to the wheels in KE flight, I know that C of G effects this but have also heard the placement of the horizontal stab ( higher or lower on the plane) has a great effect on this, can someone comment on this please? If this is correct I would like to know why the location effects this so much.

Thanks,

WRK
