Hello Dave:
I beleieve if you place the gear such that the front edgeof the wheel is inline vertically with the leading edge of the wing you should be ok. This should be well in front of the CG and have sufficient tail length to minimize nose-over unless the wheel is actually blocked by some foreign object. Thi has been my experience on Chaos, Killer Kaos, Summitt's and Dirty Birdy.

I had it a little further back maybe if you put it like you say it will work better.
