Default RE: Modified engine position.

A plane must be balanced front to rear about a point 25% to 35% of the overall wing width from the front of the wig in order to fly correctly.

If the tail is heavy they are almost impossible to control. If they are very nose heavy they are hard to keep the nose up on landing

You have a biplane but you must treat both wings as one and find the point 25% back and you must support it by the top wing
