Now, release the brakes and feel yourself pressed into the seat as you discover less right rudder is needed than you expect. As Aviat worked to increase the useful load of the Husky, it also extended the center of gravity (CG) range. Tie-down rings are provided for securing cargo in what is then a large space.
