Contrary to popular belief, having the CG back a little from where the plans show does not lead to an airplane that is any more nimble or twitchy. It simply makes it where the pitch trim remains more constant. It will also lower the stall speed. At 3" behind the leading edge I would expect a wing cord of around 9.5".
