I had a smaller super hornet a few years back and was chasing a problem with it not tracking correctly, it ended up being flex inside the stabs but I had mistaken it for being tail heavy. I kept moving the CG forward trying to resolve it (not being aware of the true issue) I went really far forward and surprisingly it still flew ok! I feel a Superhornt just has the ability to fly really nose heavy compared to some other jets. Even thou the C model is its little brother they seem to be pretty different when CG is involved...
