Default RE: CG and stall speed

If its far enough back that you're getting significant lift from the horizontal stab/elevators, then the loading on the wing goes down correspondingly. Of course that may be a virtually uncontrollable unstable configuration for a "normal" airplane ;->

Many gliders and FF power rigs put the CG near the TE or even behind and use a heavily lifting horizontal stab to compensate.
