I took a two hour X-country trip yesterday to buy a tug. The tugs weighs about 65 lb which was in the luggage area. What I noticed about my speed, for the same power settings/altitude, I was about 5 knots faster on the way to then coming back when I had the tug. Now, I doubt the added weight can effect the speed that much.
My question, would the tail heaviness attribute to that much speed difference? or would it be the added weight?
