Our former performance moderator, Bushwhacker, remarked that as a former USAF pilot, Moesly, would have known about effects on aircraft handling as fuel is consumed and therefore probably located the center of the fuel tank at the cg. Am guessing the walkarounds were in the Potter or postPotter era and that concept may not have prevailed. But might give you a clue to compare them. You may be interested in my post of 9-24-16 on estimating CG shift with heavy engines and the subsequent replies which include remarks that the Seafari and Sceptres with some weight forward are less adversely affected by heavy engines on brackets than the CCs.
