Default WHY? Balance low wing airplanes inverted?

Just finishing a Hanger 9 Sport Cap. I understand that I should balance a low wing airplane in the inverted position - but why?

When inverted the balance point is right on the recommended 4 3/4 inch from leading wing edge. When it is upright the balance point or CG moves back nearly an inch. So now I have something to wonder about - I'm sure there will be an answer.

Thanks in Advance
