How sensitive to this change the attitude will be? How much weight will you need to displace to produce noticeable attitude changes?

Yes, i was asking if that type of attitude control can be achieved and if that configuration would give greater crossrange capability. I wonder if an spacecraft with an attitude control system like this can have more control of the capsule in the reentry, giving more landing sites options and...

I understand that on Blunt or conical Bodies like Soyuz or Apollo the reentry attitude is achieved by carefully trimming of capsule centre of gravity. I was reading last night a document that states that better spacecraft control and cross range can be obtained by adding this capsules a flap...
