Default DP extra 330 first or second run kits

Has anybody moved the cowling forward 3/4" to 1" to balance out rear mounted servos? I have a thought to extend the cowling to the beginning of the lip of fuse (on either side)and I can still match the ultracote stripes this way. I will then have to add filler around the gap between top of fuse to cowl and bottom of fuse to cowl. Im just wondering if this will give me enough forward CG with an OS 1.6?? This will allow the engine further forward. I know the latest kits have the wing tube rearward at least an inch or inch and half to help with CG. Im just taking it the opposite way? Any thoughts? Anyone tried this?
