I have a friend who purchased a certified Super Cub last year. Put a Firmin pod on. His SC does NOT have the up-gross kit.
He reports that with full fuel, min clothes, light passenger, camping gear, … , he is at or slightly over gross. Moreover, loaded, he is within a tenth of an inch of AFT C-of-G.
He reports his trim indicator is close to the middle. I asked him to confirm stab position matches trim indicator.
My question: I would think that when at or close to aft CG, trim would be at or close to full nose down. Why does this not seem to be the case?
