The airfoil doesn't affect the choice of CG location.

Specifically, the CG location needed to get some particular level of pitch stability depends primarily on the top-view planform of the whole airplane (wing+tail). The vertical position of the wing also matters, but much less than the planform. The effect of the wing airfoil is in the noise.
