Default RE: Old C.G. location

Bruce....

Am working on an old design that specifed ten channel radio and Bramco servos. Yes, it has ailerons, plus retracting gear. The whole A/C was designed around such equipment. My version has not flown yet, but in bare shape sitting on table I have to push the nose down for the tire to make contact. This is why I am considering to shift the wing a good bit, as it will take the C.G. along with it. Am not too happy about adding in couple pounds of ballast up near the firewall to get a good balance.

Had been considering extending the nose too, but that may make it too obvious.

How much off in overall length could I be off for C.G. position and still have a good steady flier?
