You hear this a lot and it's wrong on several fronts:
1) Inertia will potentially only affect the *rate* at which control is lost, but will not determine *whether* it's lost.
2) Even so, an aircraft rotates around the CG, therefore the weight alone will not affect the nature of rotation around this point. |
So what else is the answer besides the added weight contributing to the HCL?
Is it just more force being applied to the point of rotation?
