Seems like I once heard on J3-C65 type aircraft w added Wing Tanks, that you can or perhaps should fly solo from the front seat.

We have a couple machines here that have C-90's, C-85's and 0-200's, and when the airplanes get up to their now higher cruise speeds, you run out of forward trim.

These aircraft are being flown from the back seat when solo and even with 2 people on board, the amount of forward trim available is not all that you need.

Comments, thoughts, published language to backup what you know ???

Thanks.
