Default RE: First flight on tower trainer and balance issues

Another thing I found was that the instructions say to position the engine so that the distance between the firewall and the back side of the spinner is 3 3/4", but with the engine all the way back, the closest I could get it was 3 7/8. So basically the prop is 1/8" to far forward. How much difference would that make on CG and engine thrust?
