Default RE: Is wing or fuse level when balancing

The 'worse' case situation when flying is when you run out of fuel and by then the CG has shifted rearward....hopefully to the correct location. When you take off w/ a full load of fuel, yes you are slightly nose heavy but not that much. Remember a nose heavy plane may fly poorly, but a tail heavy plane usually flies only once!
