Default RE: PICA Spitfire 1/5 Please Help

okay ,back to the thread.....
Again,I wondered about the really far forward located CG,checked it by 22.3 % , I checked other Spits like BT : 26.94 % and that should be okay( think, 25 - 28 % ) is a good choice for Spits.
In another thread , the guys wrote something about different CG´s ( old and new Pica Plans ) ???
So please : where is Your CG located????

Other Question : Everyone is dreaming of scale retracts and wheels... 5 inchs Wheels are a must for the Pica and I´m thinking about moving the Retract-Mount one inch forward ( to avoid noseovers ) by making a step into the Mainspars (okay,wouldn´t be that scale,but if it will makes takeoffs and landings more comfortable....)
Do You think this will be a problem for the structure ?
Thanks as always
Regards
Andy
