95tequesta,

I'm all for a more friendly note. Generally, a faster plane (a pylon plane for example) will be set up with a nearly neutral CG location (just a little ahead of the main wing's aerodynamic center), because this minimizes the load on the horizontal stabilizer, which reduces drag. A sport plane, whose pilot is less concerned with drag, would usually opt for a more stable CG location, or further forward.
