Yer, just behind the cg, but only just... If the tail is pushed on to the ground then let go the model should gently sit up onto the nosewheel.
Evan.
Exactly correct. Main gear placement should just aft of and as close to the CG as possible with the plane's tail as low as the ground permits. This allows for the easiest rotation on takeoff.
