My small Wizard had a horrible tank layout with all the fuel in front of the CG. The CG would shift 1" during flight. For that small aircraft it was too much. Early in the flight much up trim was required and it changed as the fuel was consumed. I re-engineered the model and now the fuel is centered on the CG. Much better now.
The problem with all Wizards is the tailplane is too small. If they had listened and increased the area it wouldn’t have suffered.
