Default Tail dragger wheel size

How does it balances??
if is tail heavy go to the smallest 1/2 wheel, if is nose heavy place 1 in.
I always have 1/2´´ , 3/4, 1, etc.., also diffrent brands weight different.
just my tip.
The CG balance is just a bit tail heavy but not enough to make the tail drop down and hit the table.
I'm also going to be adding a battery so i'll be placing that closer to the nose.
The 1" sounds good to me because the plane is 7.5 pounds dry.
Thanks for the post.
