Yes it is a good question and everyone that I have spoken too has a different theory. I really would like to get to the bottom of this one.

I can totally understand the whole gyroscopic effect of a heavier rotating mass, however I am yet to be convinced about the variation in affect on actual CG of the aircraft and whether (if any) the effect is linear by comparison to the weight.

I would really like more input and ideas on this one.

cheers,

jeff
