Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

Didn't mean any offense. I haven't flown mine yet so I don't know what to expect but I moved the gear forward 3" from the stock location and installed new blocks in a lateral position instead of fore to aft. They are about 2" behind the CG now instead of 5". It seems that it would be very difficult to hold the nose gear off the ground once the mains touch down with the gear in the stock location. I've watched plenty of Bobcat style turbines land and for the most part they do hold the nose wheel off the ground for a second or so after the mains are on the pavement.
