I am sure, but that is with an electric aircraft. There is no fuel in the nose, that setting is with the battery installed vs. an empty fuel tank in your case. I have quite a few CMP aircraft though, and it seems that the recommended CG settings are always too far back. I'd try to get your CG in the 72-73 range if you could. For a CMP plane it is a very good idea to do the maiden flight on the very FRONT of the recommendation. You can always move it back if you have to. As for what it looks like, keep in mind the wing has a fairly narrow cord compared to most aircraft.
