You wouldn't get home as the a/c would become VERY tail heavy. That would be ~600lb behind the CoG.

From the Pilot manual:

more than 48gal in the fuselage tank - a/c restricted straight flying and gentle maneuvers only

aerobatics and spinning permitted with no more than 30 gal in the fuselage tank

kind of hard to have combat with these restrictions
