That is not a bad place to start. Nose heavy is always preferred to tail heavy when it comes to CG.
Being nose heavy, it will be less responsive to elevator inputs. Not a bad thing for first flights. You can always move the CG back little by little till it "feels" right to you. You might then move it just a bit further back to see how that feels. You might then see how well it performs and leave it there!
Just don't exceed 30% behind the leading edge. If you ever do you might find out why!

Remember just add little bits of weight to the tail to get her where you want her to balance.
This is all part of the fun of flying. So have fun you two!
