Default Effect of CG on flight characteristics?

One more thing:

When shifting C.G Backward (nose direction)
Rotation speed on Take-Off will be higher,
So Take-Off ground roll will be increased.

Explanation:
The elevator will have to overcome the
increased wing pitch-down moment
(wing moment arm was extended due to C.G shift)
