Default C.G.Nextar

I posted this inquiry on beginners forum but got no response: crashed my Nextar on takeoff [pilot error],fuse. broke off at windshield. After assessing damage came to the following conclusions. Forward fuse. is not constructed strong enough for a "trainer".
Will reconstruct including firewall. C.G.is marked at more than 3 ins. Chord is 10 3/8 ins. According to what I have learned from other posts on this forum the MAC is 25% of the chord,which would be 2.59. Seems that 3inches plus is a bit too far aft for "trainer.
Right thrust is 1 degree, down thrust is 2 degrees.? Way too much steering on ground, caused fatal takeoff.
comments?
not the sharpest tack in the box,but does'nt look right.
