Default Effect of too much nose weight

What would too much nose weight cause as far as flying characteristics, especially in regards to landing? I just purchased a plane that I had to remove alot of weight from the nose on in order to get the cg perfect.

The specific plane I'm asking about has a 72" wingspan, weighs 11lbs 12 oz without fuel, and had 391 grams of excessive weight in the nose.
