Default A question of balance!

<div></div><div>So I think I have the CG thing down, I understand what needs to be done and how to do it. I usually just balance the plane by eye; if it looks level then I am good. I do not use a level, but I will look at the horizontal stabilizer and line it up agents a level object. I am assuming that a plane is balanced when the horizontal stabilizer is level. So my question is, would it be better to error on the side of nose heavy instead of tail heavy. I know that a plane will be more sensitive if the CG is further back (tail heavy). So fare my plane is flying good, a little nose heavy.</div><div></div><div>TB</div>
