You must have a --slight bit of nose down , built into the CG or the plane will just hang in the air ,when you need it to decend and touch down
Level makes the plane to floaty over the runway
Bin there done that !
No. A plane must be level at the balance point (which most of us call the CG). That's what "balance point" means: It's the point where the plane balances level.If you "balance" it at some point with the nose somewhat down, that just means the balance point isn't where your fingertips (or whatever) are: it's somewhere forward of that and you don't know exactly where. There's got to be
some point for any plane at which it will balance level. Do you seriously mean to deny this? If it weren't the case, you'd have to keep adding weight to the nose forever!
