Default RE: My landing gear is behind the CG...Help!
It seems to me that 5" behind the LE of a 13" wing is way too far back for a taildragger (See Pic 1)

If the plane were meant to be a Taildragger, the LG Blocks would be in the 2 to 3" range, Not 5"

Check the engine mount. I'd be willing to bet that there is a hole drilled through it for mounting a nose wheel (See Pic 2)
