Default Fuel tank behind CG

Hi all, I have only just started trying my hand at this form of flying, started with a modeltech 3Demon which has allowed me to do some basics ,hovering , spins not quite flat but close for this plane etc.
I have just brought a 26cc sukhoi 26m & have heard that putting the fuel tank behind the CG point allows it to be more tail heavy but makes landing easier after the tank has been run down.
Do many people do this with their 3D birds ? are there any real advantages in doing this ?
I guess what i'm asking is is it worth doing.
cheers Steffan.
