Default RE: Center of gravity

If its tail heavy at 100mm then its tail heavy no matter whether you add weight or shift weight to achieve 100mm. The downside of adding weight is increasing wing loading (which will make a tail heavy plane even worse)

Remember......(borrowed from Gordon Banks).....

Nose heavy planes my fly poorly but tail heavy planes may fly only once.
