There is a BIG difference between balancing
level at the neutral point and balancing level
forward of the neutral point. By balancing level
you know where the cg is, whether it is at
the neutral point or somewhere else.

Balancing level does NOT mean balancing
at the neutral point. It means balancing
so the fuselage is level. Wherever the
plane balances level, that is the CG. Once
you balance level you know where the CG
actually is and you know exactly how far from
the neutral point it actually is.
