Default Kangaroo CG

I ballanced the Kangaroo at 95mm and there is no wieght on the nose gear. Just the slightest bump ans it is sitting on the rudders.... The gear is only ~1/2" behind the CG so this makes for a very delicate ballance. I moved the CG forward ~ an inch and it was fine.... Is this just me or did everyone have this problem ???

What can be done to stop the "Kangaroo Hop" ??? It seems like a good way for a plane to self destruct.
