The video basically shows how to fly a tail heavy model, and demonstrates how possible it is to come out alive.

They don't seem to offer anything more than that, such as how far out the CG was. Nor did they mention how simple it is for 3D pilots to successfully fly tail heavy models, something less experienced flyers would greatly benefit from. The video actually doesn't say much more than "it's possible even when grossly tail heavy". They don't even take a couple of seconds to show where their model balanced. (although they did take the time to show a P51 about to be checked)

Actually seeing how far out the CG of their T28 foamy is would have been worth more than 1000 words.
