Narrative:

On takeoff aircraft felt very tail heavy. Aborted takeoff. Checked aircraft load. Found it to be fractionally off but not enough to account for the problem. Checked leading and trailing flaps to assure they corresponded with the position indicator. All ok. Checked stabilizer trim jack screws through upper and lower limits and for accuracy with indicator. All ok. Accomplished high speed taxi test. Could not duplicate.
