In this episode you will learn: - The definition of Center of Gravity (CG) and its role as the aircraft's balance point. - How a forward CG increases a drone's stability but decreases its maneuverability and performance. - The significant dangers of an aft CG, which leads to instability and makes stall recovery extremely difficult. - That any change in payload requires the Remote Pilot in Command to verify the CG remains within the manufacturer's specified limits. - A simple mnemonic: 'Forward is forgiving, Aft is frightening,' to recall the handling characteristics for the exam.
