Hi all,

I have wanted to build a Balsa USA Enforcer for some time now. I have seen the enforcers that have been converted to ducted and turbines. Mods on these include extending the nose by 6 inches and moving the CG 1 to 1.5 inches forward. I have also seen some of them with canards. I really like the look of the Enforcer with the longer nose and canards. i would like to do this to my Enforcer build but I do not plan on using a ducted fan or turbine, but an OS 75ax with a pusher prop. If I were to use the 75ax and extended the nose 6 inches and add canards, do I need to still move the CG 1 to 1.5 inches forward? I do not know if the CG is moved forward because of the weight of the ducted fan in the back or if it is do to aerodynamic forces and increased surface area (more lifting body) due to the six additional inches of fuselage and canards? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions,comments, tips or guidance on this.

Happy flying and soft landings!
