I am not sure if you have an engine yet, but both of the ones that I have built have been way tail heavy.
MVVS 1.6 with inverted pits (BCS) muffler. Got it from justengines from UK delivered in 2 business days

By the way, have you started on yours yet?
Not the engine part. I'm waiting for radial mount for MVVS. And now for the next couple days I'm stuck in Chicago area for customer support. I will be back to my plane next Wednesday.

I have both wings done and tail (glued and hinged). Now I need to make pushrods for tail and mount all tail servos. When I have all moounted in place I will start looking at the engine position for balancing.
Instead of moving the engine box forward I might use custom stand-offs and cut most of the engine box out. The engine box is 6 oz that may be reduced to 3oz.
