If you are flying from a grass strip that is probably the best location. The older taildraggers had them at about the leading edge, but more modern planes moved them a bit back partly because some were using retracts but also because they were using more paved runways. Reason is that on a grass runway then a pothole or rock will bounce the nose up or cause the nose to tip down. But for landings that are not straight on then the grass doesn't grab as much as asphalt so there is a smaller possibility of a ground loop with the gear back a bit. But with the large tail areas of the Kadet this should not be critical.
