With a about an 1 1/4 of fuel in the main tank (about the amount I usually land with) I should be just a little nose heavy and I will take it from there.

That might have been the pirotti version of the manual. And then a guy later in the thread, that I believe was involved with Pirotti, said it's the back of the tube, not front. I'd have to look again, but the carf version of the manual I am pretty sure says back of tube. Carf used to have it as a downloadable manual. Don't know what happened to the link now.
***EDIT*** You are right, the carf manual says FRONT EDGE OF WING TUBE, in bold letters. But they did a quicky manual with all the basics for getting the Rebel Pro up and running, and in that manual, it clearly states "The CG of all Rebels is the rear edge of the wing tube". I now understand your frustration...
